Larger framed Palladio prints exist outside standard sizes

The short answer is yes, but not from every seller and not at every price. Standard poster sizes stop where custom printing begins, and the gap between them is where most buyers lose patience.

The short answer

Yes, a framed print larger than 70x100 cm is available, but usually as a made-to-order job rather than an off-the-shelf poster. Standard framed poster sizes commonly stop around 70x100 cm or 80x120 cm. Beyond that, you are looking at a custom print run on paper or canvas, cut to your dimensions and framed separately. Expect the price to rise with size, and expect a longer wait than a ready-made poster.

Where standard sizes stop and custom begins

Most retail poster ranges end at a small set of fixed sizes. 70x100 cm sits near the top of that range, with 80x120 cm as the next common step. If you want something larger than 70x100 cm and you are shopping from a standard shelf, you will usually hit a wall. The fix is not to stretch a smaller print. It is to move from ready-made to made-to-order. A custom print can be produced at almost any reasonable size, then framed to match. That shift changes the price, the lead time, and the way you should think about the wall.

The buyer who needs a larger format is usually solving a wall problem, not a poster problem. A 70x100 cm print can look small above a tall sofa or on a broad chimney breast. Going larger is often the right call, but only if the room can hold it. A print that is too large for its wall reads as a mistake even if the paper is excellent. Measure the wall first, then decide the size, not the other way around. How do I determine which size print of Andrea Palladio's work will look best on my 120cm-wide wall?

What changes when you go bigger

Price rises with size for two reasons. More material is the obvious one. The less obvious one is that larger prints are harder to produce without visible flaws, so the bar for the source image is higher. A Palladio print is usually a reproduction of an architectural drawing or engraving, which means fine lines and lettering matter more than they do in a painterly image. At a larger scale, a weak source file shows up quickly. Ask what file size the printer uses and whether the enlargement is being done from a clean original or a small scan.

Framing also changes at this size. A 70x100 cm poster can sit in a lightweight frame. A 120x180 cm print needs a deeper frame and a more secure hanging system, because the weight and surface area are both higher. Canvas and paper behave differently here too. A stretched canvas can carry a larger format with less framing hardware, while a paper print usually needs a solid frame behind it. Neither choice is automatically better. Are framed posters or canvas prints of Andrea Palladio's work better for long-term durability?

Before you order larger

Confirm the exact dimensions you need, not a rough estimate.
Ask whether the print is made from a high-resolution source file.
Check that the frame can safely hold the larger surface area.
Allow more time for a made-to-order run than for a ready poster.

Where to look if standard sizes fail

If a shop only stocks fixed poster sizes, the larger option you want will not be on the shelf. Your next move is a print-on-demand service or a framer who runs their own giclée or offset line. That route gives you the size you want, but it also asks you to make more decisions yourself. Paper weight, matting, frame depth, and glazing all become choices again. For a buyer who just wants the print to arrive and look right, that extra decision load can be the real friction, not the size itself.

Auvrique does not currently offer editions by Andrea Palladio, so there is no ready-made Palladio poster to browse there. That does not mean a larger print is unavailable anywhere. It means you will need to look at custom print services or at sellers who carry architectural reproductions in made-to-order formats. buy the framed poster is the kind of product that fits a standard size, and it is the right reference point if you are comparing a fixed poster against a custom run.

A larger print is not automatically a better one. It is only better if the wall was asking for it.

Size range	How it is usually sold	What to watch
Up to 70x100 cm	Standard framed poster	Readily available, shorter lead time
80x120 cm	Common next step	Check frame weight and wall space
Larger than 120 cm on one side	Usually made to order	Source file quality matters more

Common size thresholds and what changes

Key takeaways

Standard poster sizes often stop around 70x100 cm or 80x120 cm.
A print larger than 70x100 cm is usually made to order, not off the shelf.
Larger formats need a cleaner source file and a sturdier frame.
Measure the wall before you choose the size, not after.

Related questions

Can I order a Palladio print at a size that is not listed on the site?

Usually yes, through a made-to-order print service rather than a standard poster shelf. The site may only show fixed sizes, but a custom run can often match the dimensions you give. Confirm the minimum and maximum size the printer will handle, and ask whether the price is quoted per print or per square metre.

Does a larger Palladio print cost proportionally more than a smaller one?

Not always in a clean line. Material costs rise with area, but setup, framing, and handling also move. A print that is twice the area is not always exactly twice the price, because some costs are fixed. Ask for a written quote at the exact size you want before you assume the step-up is small.

Is a canvas better than paper if I want a very large Palladio print?

Canvas can be easier to hang at a large size because it is stretched and lighter than a framed paper sheet of the same area. Paper on a heavy sheet usually needs a solid frame behind it. The better choice depends on the image and the room, not on a general rule. Fine line work in an engraving can read differently on each surface.
