It starts with the image
Every print we offer goes through a process that’s part art history, part restoration, and part creative craftsmanship. We don’t just grab a file and hit “print.”
-
The Story Behind Every Image
We take time to learn each image’s story—who created it, when, and why. We research the artist, the location, the cultural context, and even the technology used to produce the original work. We study the techniques of the time and the meaning behind each piece, so every print we offer is informed, accurate, and respectful of its history.
-
Bringing Art Back to Life
Then, we restore the image—reviving colors, repairing damage, and adjusting it just enough to shine today. Classic Prints are resized to fit standard frames, while Luxe Prints retain their original proportions and are printed on museum-grade paper with archival inks, paired with frames paired with frames that fit historic or modern styles.
Classic vs. Luxe.
We offer two types of prints—Classic and Luxe because we wanted to make the art accessible across a range of budgets. Pricing largely depends on our print partners and materials, which we don’t fully control. For example, most of the premium cost goes directly to our partner.
-
Classic Prints
For those who want something beautiful and affordable, we partner with suppliers who help us keep costs down. These unframed prints are still thoughtfully restored and printed on quality paper—but are designed to be more budget-friendly. We resize these prints to fit in standard size frames from Ikea, Amazon etc.—so they’re easy and affordable to frame yourself. -
Luxe Prints
When you want something a little more special, our Luxe Prints are framed with care using higher-end partners who specialize in museum-grade paper, archival inks, and a curated selection of frames. From modern minimal styles to period-appropriate antique options, we choose frames that complement the artwork.
The Partners Behind Our Prints
We’re a small shop focused on quality not mass production. But we want to be transparent with you about what goes into each print, because we think you deserve to know why something costs what it does.
-
Our final price comes down to the printing partner and materials that we use. Different partners offer different paper types, sizes, frames, and pricing—and we carefully select our partners based on quality, style, and cost.
Classic Prints:
For our budget-friendly prints, we use a partner who keeps the costs low while still delivering high-quality results, ensuring you get something beautiful without breaking the bank.
Luxe Prints and Framed options:
For our premium prints, we work with partners who offer:- A range of museum-grade, premium archival papers
- High-quality frames and styles that are not just generic. Very few suppliers offer a range of styles that work for modern and period styling.
- Reliable shipping and insurance for framed art. Framed art is shipped individually for protection.
Why Investing in Quality Makes Sense
It's easy to think a cheaper print will save you money, but if you're unhappy with the quality—it's essentially money down the drain. You end up replacing it and spending more money. Instead, consider investing in something that will last and makes you feel happy. -
Let’s Talk Numbers
Retailers often mark up generic, factory-made art with 50% margins. Our pricing is simple and fair. For a premium print, most of your payment goes to premium, sustainable materials, quality print production, shipping, and transaction fees.
Our profit is roughly 10-15% after covering costs and customer discounts. The profit does not factor in expenses for the e-commerce platform, hosting, marketing, and other essentials—after which the margin is smaller. The hours spent restoring and curating each piece is labor that isn’t accounted for in our costs.
We’re always trying to pass on savings. Recently, we switched to a different decor supplier to lower prices—even if it means slightly longer shipping times. With inflation affecting everyone, we’re trying to keep things affordable.
We do this because we ♥ it
-
We’re a small shop, not a factory. We’re here to offer something meaningful and accessible—whether you’re on a budget or investing in a special piece.
Your support helps us keep bringing historic images back to life and making them available—whether it’s your first art print or a new addition to your collection. -
We’re not competing with mass-produced prints from Amazon, Target, or Walmart—and we’re not charging gallery prices either. When you buy from big-box stores, you’re getting art that’s impersonal, low-quality, and lacking in history. Good art should be available to everyone, but it shouldn’t lose the essence of what makes it special.
