Lentulov Prints and Hanging Kits Explained

A direct answer on kit inclusion, plus what standard packaging for made-to-order prints usually covers and where it falls short.

Auvrique Editorial · Fine Art Editions

The short answer

No. Aristarkh Lentulov editions are not currently available at Auvrique, so no hanging kit can be included with a Lentulov print. Where hanging kits are offered for other artists, they typically arrive as a small pack of hooks, wall plugs and nails suited to the frame weight, packed flat alongside the print.

The Short Answer on Kit Inclusion

No Lentulov prints are available here at the moment, so the question of a bundled hanging kit is moot for this artist specifically. That is the honest answer, and it is better than a vague yes. When an artist's editions are in the catalogue, packaging details are listed on the product page rather than assumed, because framed posters and canvas editions ship differently and carry different wall hardware.

For readers comparing options elsewhere, the general rule holds. Most print sellers that include a hanging kit pack it separately inside or on top of the box, not attached to the frame. Kits usually cover standard drywall or plaster installation. Masonry walls, very large formats and gallery rail systems are the exceptions, and those need hardware bought to match the wall.

What a Hanging Kit Usually Contains

A typical kit is modest. Expect two or three hooks, matching wall plugs, and nails or screws rated for the frame weight. Some sellers add a small spirit level or a printed template. Canvas editions often need nothing beyond a single hook, since the stretcher bar does the work. Framed posters with heavier mouldings benefit from two anchor points to keep the frame level over time.

The kit is a convenience, not a guarantee. Wall material decides most of the outcome. A plasterboard wall takes a self-drilling anchor in seconds. A brick wall wants a masonry bit and ten quiet minutes with a drill. Anyone planning a large canvas should check the weight listed on the product page before trusting the supplied hooks.

Readers weighing formats can compare how a framed poster and a canvas edition differ in practice, since the hanging load and hardware differ between the two framed poster editions. For a related format question, see whether a canvas print can hang without a frame at all hang a canvas without a frame.

Check before you hang

Confirm the frame weight listed on the product page before choosing hooks.
Match the wall plug to the wall material, not to the kit contents.
Use two hanging points on wide frames to prevent slow tilting.
Keep the kit sealed until the print has been inspected on arrival.

Practical Alternatives if No Kit Is Offered

Buying a kit separately costs little. A basic picture hanging set from any hardware shop runs a few euros or pounds and covers most framed prints up to medium sizes. The trade-off is a short trip and a small extra spend, against the convenience of everything arriving in one box. For a single print, the trip is trivial. For a gallery wall of six frames, a bundled kit saves real fiddling.

The deeper point is that hanging hardware is the least important part of the purchase. Print quality, size and how the work sits in the room matter more. Anyone choosing between formats for this artist's palette of strong colour and angular form can read the comparison between a canvas print and a framed poster choose canvas or framed poster, or check what size suits a small hallway before ordering size for a small hallway.

The kit gets the frame on the wall. It has never once made a print look better there.

Key takeaways

No Lentulov editions are currently offered, so no hanging kit applies to this artist here.
Where kits are included, they arrive packed separately with hooks, plugs and fixings.
Wall material matters more than kit contents for a secure, level hang.
A separate hardware set costs little and covers almost any framed print.

Related questions

Do canvas prints need a hanging kit at all?

Usually not. A canvas stretched on wooden stretcher bars is light relative to its size, and a single well-placed hook or screw generally holds it. Heavier large-format canvases benefit from two fixing points. A kit adds convenience for masonry walls, where plugs and a masonry bit are needed regardless.

What should I do if my print arrives without hardware?

Check the product page first, since some formats deliberately ship without hardware. If the listing promised a kit and none arrived, contact the seller before installing anything. In the meantime, a standard picture hanging set from a hardware shop costs very little and covers most framed prints up to medium sizes.

Can I hang a large framed print on a plasterboard wall?

Yes, with the right anchors. Self-drilling plasterboard anchors hold medium frames securely. For anything above roughly 90 cm wide or 8 kg, fix into a stud where possible or use toggle anchors. Two hanging points rather than one will keep a wide frame level and reduce stress on the backing.
