Every limited edition purchase includes an official Hahnemühle Certificate of Authenticity. This document validates the work’s provenance, detailing the title, edition number, and technical specifications.

• Security: To prevent forgery, each certificate features a serialized numbered hologram with a matching hologram on the back of the artwork.

• Registry: This dual-security system allows collectors to register their piece in the Hahnemühle International Art Registry, ensuring its long-term value as a collectible investment.

• Care: The Certificate of Authenticity is a vital record of your investment. It should be stored securely, preferably separate from the artwork itself.

Each piece is made-to-order and custom-printed for the collector, ensuring the highest level of craftsmanship. For this reason, all sales are final once the order is placed. To ensure your investment arrives in perfect condition, we use specialized, secure packaging designed for fine art transport.

Preserving Value & Exclusivity
Each edition size is strictly limited and shared across all available dimensions. This ensures that the total number of physical prints for any given image remains constant, protecting the long-term identity and rarity of your acquisition.

The Appreciation Model
As an edition sells through, the price for the remaining prints increases. Acquiring a work closer to its release date guarantees the most favorable pricing. This tiered structure reflects the growing demand and the increasing rarity of the work within the global art market.

To complement the museum-grade quality of our prints, we collaborate with a prestigious artisanal laboratory in Turin, Italy. Each frame is individually handcrafted using premium Lime wood, chosen for its stability, fine grain, and timeless elegance.

Our handcrafted Lime wood frames are available in three essential finishes to suit any interior (more upon request):

• Natural Lime: Celebrating the raw, organic beauty of the wood.

• Matte Black: A bold, classic gallery choice.

• Matte White: For a bright, ethereal, and modern aesthetic.

• Italy & EU: Complete framing services are available for orders within Italy and the European Union.

• International: For shipping outside the EU, we recommend purchasing "Print Only" to ensure the safest transport. However, bespoke international crating for framed works can be arranged upon request. Please contact the studio for a custom quote.

Classic Passepartout
For a refined and traditional gallery appeal, the artwork is framed with a 5cm acid-free, museum-grade mat board (passepartout). This provides a visual breather between the image and the frame while ensuring the print never touches the glass.

Lift/Floating Frame (Gallery Look)
The "floating" effect creates a contemporary, three-dimensional look where the artwork appears to hover within the frame. This style is ideal for collectors seeking a minimalist yet high-impact presentation.

Full Frame
For a clean, "full bleed" look without a mat, we use internal spacers. This technique keeps the print separated from the glass, preserving its archival integrity while allowing the image to extend to the edges of the frame.

This specialized glass is treated to eliminate harsh mirrored reflections by transforming them into soft, blurred shadows.

• Performance: It ensures the image remains clearly visible even in environments with strong ambient light or opposing windows.

• Aesthetic Note: Due to the specialized frosted finish used to minimize glares, there may be a subtle softening in color brilliance and saturation compared to traditional clear glass.

Is the gold standard for museum-grade presentation and for the discerning collector. Artglass AR 70 by Groglass is is engineered to offer significantly higher transparency than standard glass.

• Performance: Reflecting less than 1% of light, it minimizes the visual barrier between the viewer and the artwork, allowing the authentic colors and textures of the print to emerge with total clarity.

• UV Protection: Blocks 70% of harmful UV rays, significantly preserving the vibrancy of your investment over time.

To ensure the archival integrity of your Hahnemühle print for centuries, we recommend choosing a display location with controlled ambient light. Regardless of the glass choice, avoiding prolonged direct sunlight is the best practice for preserving fine art photography.
