dust and starlightMetal and acrylic pieces arrive float-mounted and need nothing. For a gallery presentation, the acrylic can be finished in one of NMFA's handcrafted hardwood frames with a linen liner and delivered ready to hang. The “Framed acrylic” option on each photo page is the 4-inch Tabacchino with a 2-inch liner; any of the profiles below can be substituted — ask and we'll quote it.
| Profile | Character |
|---|---|
| Tabacchino scoop, 4" | The gallery standard: a deep, scooped hardwood profile in dark ash or black. Our default for framed acrylic. |
| Tabacchino scoop, 2¾" | The same profile, slimmer — for sizes under 24x36 or a lighter wall. |
| Tabacchino slim | A narrow flat-faced profile for a quieter, more modern edge. |
| Ramino float | The acrylic appears to float inside the frame with a shadow gap. Contemporary; pairs well with metal. |
| Ramino slim | The float profile in its thinnest form. |
| Inset frame | The frame sits flush with the face of the piece — the most minimal presentation. |
| Linen liner, 2" or 4" | An off-white or black linen liner between print and frame. Adds breathing room and reads as a mat without the glass. |
Framed dimensions
A 4-inch frame with a 2-inch liner adds about 12 inches to each dimension of the print: a 24 × 36 becomes roughly 36 × 48 on the wall. Use the room preview with that in mind, or send us a photo of the wall and we'll mock up the framed piece at true size, free.
Paper prints
We don't frame paper. A local framer will give you more choice in mat, glass, and moulding than we could, and we'll send the exact print dimensions and a recommended mat width for the frame you choose.
