When designing your star map, you have an option to add a frame before checkout. We offer frames with mat and without mat. This will not affect the final size of the frame.
Our frames are created from high-quality wood, milled with simple clean lines and presented with a satin finish. The Acrylic Plexiglass we use as a glaze provides increased UV protection for your print, is extremely robust and offers less glare than float glass. It is also safer to transport. We offer three styles: black, white and natural wood.
Each framed print is individually handmade by specialist picture framers. The frames are cut using a traditional Morsø guillotine (a machine and process dating back over a hundred years) or with an automatic saw for volume production. Mounts are precision cut on a Swiss-engineered computerised matt (mount) cutting machine (CMC) with perspex handled safely by hand.
Our frames have a square profile measuring 20mm (front face) by 23mm (depth from wall). The final measurement of your framed star map will be your selected size + 20mm.
All framed prints are delivered ready for hanging directly on your walls.

* The shipping fee for framed orders depends on the size of the star map and the destination country.
The framed maps take a few more days to manufacture as each framed print is handmade by a team of specialist picture framers. However, they are then shipped by courier service, so the shipping itself should be fast.
