These are some Example of Chinese Calligraphy Framing:

What frames are Suitable for chinese calligraphy?

Most of our frames are suitable as chinese calligraphy doesnt need any specific frames to be framed up. Usually the antique or red wood type of frame is being used for chinese calligraphy as it matches the colours and the feels of the artwork.

Can my calligraphy be 100% Straight ?

For calligraphy it will be used by a method called water treatment. Its a need to use this method as it helps to make the rice paper smooth and flat when its being framed. Do take note that it wont be 100% straight as rice paper is very thin and  delicate. Hence the artwork cant be fully flat and straight.

How long is the Lead Time for chinese calligraphy?

It usually takes around 7 - 10 working days as we would need to wait for the calligraphy to dry up and framed up. Framing it is a process that needs patience as calligraphy is very delicate.

What would be the best Option of Glazing for chinese calligraphy?

For glass wise, if your artwork is very big i would highly recommend you to go for acrylic as its very heavy and acrylic would be the best and safest option to go for. For small pieces and if you're hanging on a wall where theres sun shines, highly recommend for non reflective glass.

Would Border be nice for calligraphy framing?

It would be a nice option to play around with as it adds extra contrast onto the looks of your calligraphy. Some people would do border to protect the calligraphy from getting in contact with the glass itself. 

Can i Take Out the calligraphy again down the road?

Sadly it wont be able to take it out as we already done the water treatment. The rice paper is already paste and stick on the back board it self so it wont be possible.

If my calligraphy is not even out at the sides, could you help us Cut It ?

Most definitely we can. Will cut it out and even out the calligraphy so it would look more elegant once its framed up. 

Do you guys do Delivery & Installation once the item is ready?

Yes we do, for delivery and installation charges would be additional depending on the jobsite location and etc.
