Authenticity
All T J Allen original artworks are presented with a Certificate of Authenticity which is signed by me.
Copyright and Intellectual Property
The copyright of any finished artwork remains with the artist. I am entitled to keep, display, exhibit and utilise any photographic images of my artwork for marketing purposes. No permission is given regarding the reproduction of any images of my artwork. Should you wish to use an image, please contact me for authorisation. ALL RIGHTS RESERVED.
Delivery Timescale
Once payment is received, artwork orders will be processed. Artwork is usually mounted to order, so please allow up to 15 working days before delivery.
Mounting and Framing
All the prices quoted on this website are for mounted artwork unless otherwise stated. Please refer to the description details to understand what is included within the price. Please be aware that the sizes noted in the list of purchase options refer to the artwork size and therefore the size of the mount and frame will be considerably larger.
Artwork is professionally mounted by hand with mountboard and finished with a conservation grade backing board ready for framing. All original artworks include an additional gutter mount so should any tiny, pastel-dust particles drop from the picture over time, they will fall into the space provided by the gutter mount rather than in between the mount and the glass.
In general, the artwork is not sold framed to reduce delivery charges and to prevent damage during transit. It will also provide you with the added benefit of choosing a customised frame from your local professional framer to match your interior décor and individual taste. If you would specifically like the artwork framed for you, please contact me to discuss your requirements and for a detailed quote.
Where artwork is already framed, a 99% UV filtration glass has been provided to protect and conserve the artwork from fading and damage caused by UV light. If you prefer an anti-reflective finish, the glazing can be changed for an additional cost.
For reference there are four types of glass which are detailed below in order of cost (lowest to highest). I do not recommend using float glass on original artwork.
Float glass: standard glass to protect the artwork
UV 99%: conservation standard glass that reduces fading and has 99% protection from UV light
UV 70% AR: not conservation standard as it has 70% protection from UV light but it has super clarity due to anti-reflective properties
UV 99% AR: referred to as museum glass as it has conservation standard and super clarity
Post Costs
UK postage is included unless otherwise stated.
For worldwide enquiries, please contact me for further details and additional prices as an extra payment will be required.
Post Insurance
All artwork sent by post will include full insurance for protection and peace of mind. Please check the condition of the packaging and contents and let me know immediately if there is any sign of damage that has impaired the contents and artwork. You will be required to take clear photographs showing any evidence of damage made in transit.
Post Packaging
All artwork sent by post is safely and securely packaged. A pH neutral (acid-free) glassine paper is placed over artwork that isn't framed to ensure archival protection.
Returns
All artwork (originals and limited edition prints) purchased can be refunded if I am notified within 14 days of you receiving the items that you wish to cancel. You have another 14 days to return the artwork to me at your own cost, in an unused condition and presented in the original, undamaged packaging. You must include a note stating your name, address, email, contact telephone number and full reason for the return.
The return postage should include full insurance and a receipt / proof of posting from the Post Office or courier should be obtained to verify the details should the item be lost in transit. In this circumstance, refunds cannot be made until such proof is provided.
Once I have received the artwork back in an unused and undamaged condition, the refund will be processed. The final decision on the refund is at my discretion.
Website Images
Due to individual screen colour differences, I cannot guarantee an exact match of the image displayed on your screen and my artwork in real life. Invariably, the online images do not do justice to the real thing!
