Question 1

What frames do you supply?

Accepted Answer

When skilfully mounted, signed by the artist and framed, Philip's giclée reproductions become lasting souvenirs and make wonderful presents for family and friends.

Philip makes recommendations on framing his prints, which he then completes himself. He has a huge array of samples at the gallery, and uses his keen artist's eye, and vast experience, to assist his customers in choosing the mount and frame to best show off the pictures they have bought, taking into consideration their personal taste and requirements.

Question 4

What is a Giclée Reproduction?

Accepted Answer

Giclée, (pronounced "jeeclay"), was hitherto just a French word meaning spurted, that was not much used in polite company. Now, however, it is the name applied to a state-of-the-art type of ink jet printing, which uses a large array of light-fast, pigment based inks on acid free paper or specially prepared canvas. Colour rendition is exceptionally accurate and the process is so adaptable that images can be printed practically any size required, from "postage stamp" to "mural" and in any number, from one to infinity and, of course, beyond.​
 
For simplicity, we offer all Philip Dunn giclées in three sizes on paper and one size on canvas but, if you have other requirements, please do not hesitate to contact us for a quotation.
​
We are proud to be able to say that all their giclées are printed by UISART.
 
When skilfully mounted, signed by the artist and framed, giclée reproductions become lasting souvenirs and make wonderful presents for family and friends.

Question 5

Sending orders overseas

Accepted Answer

a. How do you send prints overseas?
We are sorry, but we cannot send framed  pictures abroad. They are sent unframed, in a postal tube, for you to arrange framing locally to you.  P&P for framed items is too expensive to be practical. The cost of sending unframed prints abroad is £10. 
b. How do you send canvasses overseas?
The same as prints: in a tube. Stretchers are very heavy, and impractical to post abroad, so canvasses would need to be stretched after receipt, and framed if required. 
c. How do you send original paintings overseas?
As above, as for canvasses, but we advise that the item be insured by you whilst in transit.

Question 6

Can you deliver my print/painting by hand?

Accepted Answer

Yes, usually, but only within a 15 mile radius from Ditchling. (BN6 8TJ). Please enquire a(undefined)bout this.

Question 7

How do you post items within the UK?

Accepted Answer

We can send small and medium pictures, framed, with glass. 
Large prints will have acrylic glazing if outside the local delivery area. 
Canvases, stretched and framed, can be sent to almost anywhere in Great Britain.

Question 8

I bought a Philip Dunn picture many years ago. What is it worth today?

Accepted Answer

We are sorry, but we cannot give valuations of Philip's previously sold work. Our advice is to enquire at a reputable auction house.

Question 9

Since I bought it many years ago, my picture has faded. Can I buy an exact replacement?"

Accepted Answer

Prior to the introduction of Giclée printing, all reproductions were offset photo lithographs. The only inks available were subject to fading. We no longer have stocks of these type of prints. All Philip's current Giclée prints are produced using Lightfast pigment-based inks on archival paper, or specially prepared canvas. They are therefore not subject to fading in the same way. However, pictures should not be displayed in direct sunlight.
