Terms & Conditions

Sales and Services

At The Elm & the Raven we want your experience with us to be a positive one. The services provided by The Elm & the Raven include the sale and shipping of limited-edition photography and digital art, open edition prints, original illustrations and other printed creative products such as photobooks, clothing, cards, books and literary works.
Every effort has been made to ensure the work is represented and described as accurately as possible on our site and arrives to you in good condition. Please note colours vary slightly on different monitors so some colour variation may be anticipated.

All Elm & the Raven works are produced with quality materials, on high quality 100% acid free archival cotton rag or professional gloss photo paper using quality Lucia pigment inks.  A full description of materials used and size of work is given on our product pages. Each limited-edition work is signed, numbered and comes with a signed Certificate of Authenticity.

Other items such as clothing are printed on the materials as described when purchased.

Packaging

Small unframed prints, unless otherwise specified, are shipped unmounted, in reinforced cardboard envelopes. Larger prints are carefully rolled in postal tubes with acid free tissue paper to prevent damage to the print. Mounted and framed prints incur a higher checkout cost. All mounted works will be packed flat. Larger items will be packed flat with corner protection, insulating wrap and cardboard packaging/and or boxing.

Glass is difficult to post and can break in transit. The Elm & the Raven does stock and freight some glass products but these are kept to a minimum. It is recommended that glazing and framing is done at the buyers’ end. Most Elm & the Raven prints suit standard size frames.

Customers able to collect work directly from The Elm & the Raven may be best positioned to access framing and glazing options listed.
