Our Frames

Our oak frames are handmade by Dard Hunter Studios in Chillicothe, Ohio. Crafted from quarter-sawn white oak, each frame is cut to size and hand-stained to guarantee a high-quality product. We especially appreciate their through mortise-and-tenon joinery, which is both timeless and classic.

Run by the grandson of Dard Hunter—the pioneering authority on handmade paper and artist who designed for Elbert Hubbard's Roycroft—the studio is dedicated to raising awareness of Dard Hunter's contributions to papermaking, printing, and the Arts and Crafts movement.

Our prints are matted with Artcare Archival Plus, a museum-quality conservation mat. Artcare proactively traps and neutralizes pollutants and acid by-products, preventing discoloration and damage while ensuring the longevity of your print. We also use UV-protected glass to further enhance the durability of the prints. For optimal results, please keep the prints and artwork out of direct sunlight.

 

How to Hang Our Framed Blockprints

Our frames utilize a slide-and-hang system for hanging, which is a fantastic solution that prevents scratching your wall with metal hardware on the back of the frame.

Once you choose the location for your framed print, drill a screw (with a screw head size of 1/4" to 5/16") into the wall, leaving 1/4" of the screw protruding. You can then slide the framed print onto the screw for easy display.

It's easy to balance the artwork by adjusting it right or left along the slit.

If you'd like to secure it further, you can apply a small amount of museum putty to the bottom corners on the back of the frame and press them against the wall.
