    Gorgeous! That was an immediate buy. Any tips on where to get a nice frame?

    thank you very much ! :) personally I use glass frames with a thin border (no more than 1 cm) black or gold. A varnished wood that tends towards gold as in the photo could also be very suitable…being in France, I leave it to someone else to worry about where to find it :)

      Thanks! I’m in Belgium, so location recommandations are welcome, too. The 70x100 frames I found so far are frightfully expensive. It feels ord to spend more on the frame than the art it contains. That said, I would spend the money rather than doing the print the disservice of housing it in a cheap looking frame

        I buy my frames from “castorama” I think they must be located in Belgium. They have a range of glass frames and aluminum borders (black, aluminum or light wood color) that are quite sober with good value for money. It’s not very high-end but for 45 euros the glass frame is quite suitable. I can’t stand plexi frames and I can’t afford to spend hundreds of dollars on a frame either. personally they suit me well. It’s up to you to get an idea in a store if you find one.
