The Product: Wallace Collection building art
The Wallace Collection building is a national museum housing the art and princely arms and armour of four generations of the Wallace family. Nestled quietly in Manchester Square behind Selfridges, Hertford House was completed in 1788. The iconic Marylebone building was the principal residence of the Marquess’ of Hertford and later Sir Richard Wallace (an illegitimate son) and opened as a museum in 1900. Thomas Ambler redeveloped the property during Wallace’s time, adding the Doric pilasters, modifying the windows and covering the building with red brick facing.
The Lowdown
A signed Giclée, this Wallace Collection building artwork is printed on the highest quality, acid-free, light-fast, archival, 300gsm, Minuet Cotton Rag. The heavyweight etching board is velvety smooth with a fine surface texture and is one of the most widely used media, worldwide, for artwork and photography. Using pigment-based UltraChrome and Ultra Violet (UV) inks, the Giclée printing process ensures superior detail, colours and longevity. The print comes unframed and is delivered in a cardboard tube for you to take straight to your local framer.
Styling Ideas?
Need framing advice? We’d suggest a slim, white frame with subtly visible woodgrain and a white card mount, if you wish the frame to disappear – say, against a white wall – and the print to stand out. Equally as effective is the same style of frame in black – as here – also teamed with a white card mount, to outline the drawing and act like bold, precise punctuation! The third option would be to go for a softer, warmer effect with a natural or stained wooden mount. All three will work beautifully, depending on the backdrop, and the look you want to achieve. It’s worth knowing that artworks such as these will often leap out, to striking effect, from a dark-hued wall.
