ANSWERING YOUR QUESTIONS

1. Shipping tax and delivery time

Shipping is worldwide by DHL and can be tracked online. The paintings are delivered unframed, in strong postal tubes. The price is fixed $75 regardless of order total.

Delivery by DHL is fast - up to 3 days.

Shipping tax is fixed and does not depend on how many paintings you have ordered. For example, if you order more than two paintings at a time, you will be charged only one shipping.

Time needed to complete and deliver your order depends on the volume and complexity of the paintings and we keep you informed about the stage of completion throughout the process. In order for the paintings to reach the highest quality and get dry, the painter usually needs 3-4 weeks.

3. How to order an oil portrait painting?

First scan your photo(JPEG format) and send it to our email address as an attachment. It's preferable that the photo is with the highest resolution possible, so we do not miss any details. If you have any specific requirements, please send us an email. We'll answer as quickly as possible to discuss and give you instructions on how to proceed with ordering. If you are not satisfied with your oil portrait, you could send the canvas back for correction.

4. Wholesale / discount paintings

You want to buy Art but you are on a budget? Then our wholesale section is the right place for you. We offer real hand painted works at affordable discount prices. Each painting in this section is a master recreation of an earlier original which has already sold. The painting is an exact copy and the original artist will paint it as close to original as possible. The artwork will also bear the artist's signature and will be delivered with a certificate of authenticity. Canvas prints are also available.

5. About the painting process

Our Fine Art Reproductions are entirely handmade without use of artificial methods. They are painted on linen canvas with oil paints of the highest French quality. Our painters are graduates of art schools, and every one of them is a master in a particular field, which gives us the opportunity to reproduce to the highest point of perfection the style and the technique of the original old master. We have acquired those abilities for a long creative period and that's the reason why our handmade reproductions are the best, bearing the spirit of the original Great Masters.

6. Why are the paintings delivered unframed?

There are some reasons for not framing the paintings, but the basic one is that every house has its own interior design and the frame of a painting has to fit in well with the whole interior, that's why you'd make the best choice for a frame. There are many frame shops where you'll be advised and helped in selecting the best frame for your room or office.

The other crucial reason is safety. Our paintings are transported rolled in secure post-tubes. We wouldn't want to be responsible for a damaged painting, which traveled stretched on a frame.

7. Get a quote for an artwork, not listed in the catalog or with a different size

For your convenience we offer the reproductions in one, two or three different sizes, not necessarily standard, trying to keep maximum close to the painting's original proportion. You can also order the painting at your own custom size. You should first either email us or fill in our Contact Form to ask your question or give your requirements. If the painting you are looking for is not listed in the Catalog , you can provide us with it's title or Artist's name and we will find it for you. You will be answered within 24 hours.
