Can I reorder a frame that I like?

We give the material and wood a second life, i.e. all upcycling frames are unique, i.e. we can usually make the frame again in the same color and / or a different size. However, due to the origin of the wood, the frame will never be an exact copy. The frame shown in the photo can only represent one possible direction of how the wood and the patina look.

 Can I send a frame as a gift??

Of course, you can send any frame to any address of your choice. If you want to add a personal greeting, please indicate this in the shopping cart.

What is the picture size and the frame size?

The picture size refers to the back, inner size of the picture frame (i.e. the size of the sheet that fits into the frame), which is also called the fold size. The frame size is the outer size of the picture frame.

Where are the frames made?

All of our frames are hand-made in Berlin and shipped from here. The wood comes either from Berlin, Brandenburg and the surrounding area, or we buy old fishing boats in Bali from a family friend and use it to build new picture frames.

How do I hang my picture frame correctly??

For the suspension, please always use the hangers that you received. The frame is best hung on your wall with a nail or screw (depending on size and weight). If possible, keep your artwork away from direct sunlight (unless UV glass was used) and excessive moisture, the kitchen and bathroom are only suitable rooms under certain conditions.

How do I clean my picture frame?

Dust your frames regularly so that dirt doesn't build up over time. To clean the glass, remove the frame from the wall and place it on a flat surface. Spray glass cleaner on a lint-free cloth and NOT directly on the glass to prevent the liquid from seeping behind the glass. Dry with a lint-free cloth. Glass should not be cleaned with water or other cleaning agents. If you have anti-reflective UV glass in your picture frame, you should only use pure alcohol or denatured alcohol for cleaning.

How do I take the dimensions of my picture what I want to frame?

Measure the width and height of your artwork in mm. We add the additional dimensions or calculate the size of the window opening for a passe-partout. If your artwork already has a white border, you need to decide whether you want to see that border or not. If you want it to be visible, measure the full size of the paper it is on. If you want a mat that will hide the edge, measure the size of the artwork without the edge.

Please note that for all flat-framed works of art (edge to edge) the frame must overlap the work of art by approx. 5 mm (fold). This will hold the artwork in place. With a passepartout, please note that the passepartout overlaps the work of art by approx. 4 mm on each side.
