Some pieces you buy and then figure out how to finish. Ours aren't like that. Every framed canvas and framed paper print in our shop arrives exactly the way it will hang on your wall — and right now, all of it is 25% off, automatically, through August 7.
Two Ways to Frame a Painting
We offer Antionette Simmons Hodges' original paintings as museum-quality reproductions in two framed formats, and they're built differently from each other on purpose.
Framed Stretched Canvas
The artwork is printed on artist canvas and stretched over a solid wood bar frame, gallery-wrapped so the image continues cleanly around the edges — no visible staples. That stretched canvas then sits inside a premium wood floater frame, with a clean reveal gap between the canvas edge and the frame itself. On the back: a solid wood frame structure, a black dust-cover backing board, braided steel hanging wire strung across the top, hanging hardware already mounted in the top corners, and metal retaining clips holding everything secure around the frame edge.
Framed Paper Print
This format starts as a giclée print on fine art paper, matted, and set inside a solid wood frame. Depending on the piece, it's finished with an acrylic glazing layer for protection, a kraft paper dust cover on the back, and hanging hardware already installed — wire, a sawtooth hanger, or corner sawtooth hangers, depending on the size. Either way, nothing extra to buy, no separate trip to a frame shop.
Ready to Hang, Straight Out of the Box
Every piece in this sale ships with its hanging hardware already attached. There's no assembly, no hunting for the right size D-rings, no separate hardware purchase. Unbox it, find your wall, and hang it — that's the whole process.
How High Should You Hang It?
If you only remember one number, make it this one: the center of your artwork should sit 57 to 60 inches from the floor. That's the standard most galleries and museums use, based on average adult eye level, and it holds up well in almost any room.
A few adjustments worth knowing:
- Above a sofa, console, or credenza: leave 6 to 8 inches between the top of the furniture and the bottom of the frame, rather than strictly following the 57–60 inch rule if the two conflict.
- In a room where people mostly sit: like a living room or dining room, you can hang slightly lower than 57–60 inches, closer to seated eye level.
- Grouping multiple pieces: treat the whole arrangement as one unit, and center that unit at 57–60 inches rather than centering each piece individually.
