Sai Kung area customers
If you live or work in or around Sai Kung, or are planning a visit, I can arrange collection by meeting in Sai Kung, subject to agreeing a time that works for both of us (Under the sign at Starbucks is the location of choice !).
If it's a gift you left to the last minute, let me know & we'll see what magic we can work !!
Sorry Only Frame Type A available right now
I have no stock of Type B larger sized frames
Frame Details
Frame Type A is approximately A5 size overall, with a postcard sized print - Great as a small freestanding furniture piece or a handy size gift.
Frame Type B is approximately A4 size overall, with a print that fills the frame to about 85% of A4 - More suited to wall hanging.
Frames are in Birch colour woodgrain effect, with bevel edged card border, safety thermoplastic pane (not glass), white plastic recess, & a black hardboard back with standup leg & wall hanging clips.
They are all printed & framed to order, and come with a personally signed label on the back, & my own little story about the subject ...

After Purchase
All prints & paper will naturally fade & yellow slightly over time. To reduce this, try and place the print out of direct sunlight.
Keep the print & frame away from moisture or excessively humid environments.
Type A (Small frames) - Wall hanging
The print is initially orientated in the frame so it can be freestanding using the hinged leg on the back - They are small & neat and ideal for bookshelves & side tables. Pull the leg out gently & enjoy !
But if you want to wall mount your Type A print using a nail or hanging hook, you may need to remove the back board & rotate it so the wall hanging point is at the top. If you need to :-
•Place the frame face down on a clean protected surface. Using a thin flat blade screwdriver or similar (not a sharp knife ... that's just asking for trouble folks), gently lift up & bend back the 4 black metal tabs around the edge of the frame, enough to allow the back board to be removed. Be Careful – the edges of the metal tabs can be quite sharp.
•Lift out the back board only & rotate it by 180 degrees, so the nail hanging point will be at the top. Drop the board back in to the frame & gently bend the tabs back down to hold the back board tight, again being careful of those pesky sharp edges.
Tips
The frames are intended to fit flat to the wall, directly to a nail or hook. So use the right length of nail or thickness of hook. Don’t try & bend the nail hanging points on the back board – They are strong enough to hold the weight of the picture but may pull out of the backboard if you try to twist or bend them.
If when hanging the frame it won’t quite sit level, put a small piece of thin stationary double sided tape behind the bottom rail to hold it better.
Use common sense whether a picture is too heavy to hang on a particular wall material, & how strong the fixing will be to carry the weight of the frame. That's beyond our control, so you're on your own ;-)
Cleaning
It's hard not to sound patronising because it's so obvious, but don't spray aerosol or pumped liquid cleaners anywhere on or around the frame. It will soak into the back board, and the frame, and the print - None of which have any resistance against liquids.
The 'glass' pane is made of thermoplastic which is a relatively soft & quite easily scratched by using the wrong technique or materials. It should only be dusted with a very soft microfibre cloth, if necessary damped (yes, only damp, not dripping ...) with a water based light detergent surface cleaner.
Do not use anything with solvents or cleaners with abrasive properties (those that dry to a powder, like 'Cif').
There we go again ... like you needed to be told how to clean a picture ...
