Limited Edition Reproductions
From time-to-time I sell my own HAND CONTROLLED Limited Edition Reproduction Prints that are also known as Glicees. Each limited edition reproduction is printed by computerised digital means upon high quality paper of substantial weight and is 100% acid free. The printing inks used have an exceptionally good archival value. This means the reproduction will last for years if it is framed under glass and it is suitably hung inside a building under normal lighting (lux) and under normal dry air living conditions.
All Limited Edition reproduction prints are signed and numbered by me, Edward McNaught-Davis, the artist. A certificate of authentication accompanies each limited edition reproduction print.
If offered for sale, Artist’s Proofs will be numbered in Roman Numerals (which is the traditional practice) and will be signed by me, Edward McNaught-Davis, the artist.
Commissions
I am always willing to discuss your bespoke requirements and will be happy to supply you with a written quote by e-mail. Prices will be held for a minimum of 30 days allowing you a reasonable period of time to make up your mind on whether to proceed. In all cases, a non refundable deposit (in the event of a cancellation) of 60% of the total purchase price will be required prior to commencing with your commission. The balance of 40% payment will be required prior to dispatch of the painting. Please see the page specifically for Commissions.
Mounts/Mats, Glass and Frames
Except where stated otherwise, all pictures shown on this web site are sold without having been mounted/matted, glazed or framed (canvases are stretched onto a backing frame and primed prior to any painting on them). This helps to reduce the shipping costs. Mounting and framing pictures is considered a personal choice of the buyer.
