Lemmen Prints Arrive Ready to Hang

A short answer with a small catch. Framed editions ship with mounting hardware in the box, canvas editions arrive stretched and framed. What that means for the wall, in plain terms.

Auvrique Editorial · Fine Art Editions

The short answer

Yes. Auvrique's Georges Lemmen editions ship ready to hang. Framed posters come with the mounting hardware included, so a single nail or screw per piece is all the wall needs. Canvas editions arrive stretched over an internal frame and hang the same way. No extra framing, no assembly, no trip to the hardware shop.

What arrives in the box

The short version is that nothing extra is required. A framed Lemmen poster, such as the Beach at Heist edition, arrives already set in its frame with the mounting hardware packed alongside it. The canvas editions are stretched over an internal wooden frame before shipping, which means the print holds its shape on its own and goes straight onto the wall. There is no separate framing step and no assembly session to plan for.

The one thing to check before the print arrives is the wall itself. A single fixing point carries the weight, so a standard wall plug or hook is usually enough for the smaller sizes. Larger canvases benefit from two fixing points to keep them level, which is a ten-minute job rather than an afternoon. Anyone weighing up formats before ordering can compare the canvas and framed poster options side by side in how to choose between canvas and framed poster.

The honest limits of ready to hang

Ready to hang does not mean the wall work disappears entirely. The hardware included covers a standard fixing, not masonry drills, stud finders or the particular quirks of an old plaster wall. If the wall is uneven, a canvas stretched over its frame will follow that unevenness more visibly than a flat framed poster will. That is worth knowing before choosing a format rather than after.

It is also worth being precise about what the hardware is for. It secures the print to the wall. It does not tell you where the print should go, and it will not fix a piece hung at the wrong height. A practical rule is to hang at eye level, roughly 145 centimetres from floor to the centre of the piece, and adjust from there. For anyone planning a larger piece on a difficult wall, how to hang a large print covers the mechanics in more detail. Those who prefer to browse first can order the Rooftops framed poster and see what arrives.

Before the print arrives

Confirm the wall type, since plaster, brick and stud walls need different fixings
Decide between one and two fixing points based on the print size
Mark the hanging height at eye level before drilling anything
Keep the packaging until the print is up, in case of transit damage

Costs the buyer does not pay

The pain point behind this question is usually financial. A print that arrives unframed quietly adds a framing bill that can exceed the print itself, and a cheap frame shop adds another week to the timeline. Neither applies here. The framed editions are framed before they ship, and the canvas editions are stretched before they ship, so the price shown is close to the total cost of getting the work on the wall.

The remaining variable is the fixing itself. A wall plug and screw costs very little, and most households already own some. Anyone who wants to see the range before committing can browse the framed Beach at Heist edition or view the Flowers and Apples canvas. For questions about what is included with each format, the Auvrique FAQ lists the details per edition.

A print that arrives unframed is a print with a second invoice attached.

The only extra cost is a wall plug or screw, which most homes already have.
Large canvases hang more level with two fixing points rather than one.

Related questions

Do Lemmen prints come with mounting hardware included?

Framed poster editions include the mounting hardware in the box alongside the framed print. Canvas editions are stretched over an internal frame and hang from a standard fixing, which is not supplied because the right fixing depends on the wall type. Either way, no purchase of frames or stretcher bars is needed.

Can I hang a Lemmen canvas without drilling?

A stretched canvas needs a fixing point to carry its weight, so some form of wall attachment is required. Adhesive hooks can work for smaller sizes on smooth, clean walls, though they are less reliable over time and in warm rooms. For anything above roughly 60 centimetres wide, a proper fixing is the safer choice.

What happens if my Lemmen print arrives damaged?

Damage in transit is the one scenario where the ready to hang promise fails, and it is covered. Keep the packaging, photograph the damage on arrival, and contact support for a replacement or refund under the refund policy. Checking the print before discarding the box makes any claim straightforward.
