Arthur Lowe Prints Arrive Ready To Hang

A direct answer on what comes in the box, what does not, and where a separate trip to the hardware shop is still worth your time.

Auvrique Editorial · Fine Art Editions

The short answer

Yes. Every Arthur Lowe framed poster and canvas edition ships with a hanging kit included, so no separate purchase is needed. Framed pieces come with the appropriate wall fixings for the frame weight, and canvases arrive with their own fittings. The print is ready to hang the day it arrives.

What the hanging kit includes

Each Arthur Lowe print hanging kit is packed with the edition itself, not sent separately. A framed poster includes the fixings matched to the frame, and a canvas edition carries its own fittings. Nothing needs to be sourced from a hardware shop before the work goes on the wall. That is the whole point of a ready-to-hang confirmation, and it applies across the range.

The practical benefit is small but real. Hanging a print is a ten minute job when the fixings are in the box, and an afternoon errand when they are not. Anyone ordering the Autumn framed poster or a canvas of the Clifton Grove view can plan the placement before delivery and simply hang it on arrival.

Framed posters versus canvas editions

The two formats hang differently, and the kit reflects that. A framed poster is a rigid rectangle with a defined hanging point, so the fixings are straightforward. A canvas sits closer to the wall and reads as a single object rather than a glazed picture. If you are weighing the two, the comparison in Auvrique framed poster editions covers what each format includes.

Neither format asks much of the wall. A single fixing usually holds a framed poster at living room sizes, and canvases are similar. For anyone worried about damage, the separate guide to hanging a canvas without marking the wall goes into anchors and placement in detail. The short version is that the included kit is sufficient for a standard interior wall.

Included with every edition

Wall fixings matched to the format you ordered
Fittings for the frame or canvas backing as appropriate
Packed in the same box as the print itself
Enough for a standard drywall or plaster installation

When you might still buy hardware

There are two honest exceptions. Very large editions, particularly a wide canvas, benefit from two anchor points rather than one, and a stud finder is worth owning if your walls are older plaster. Neither is a flaw in the kit. They are the ordinary realities of hanging anything heavier than a poster on an unfamiliar wall.

If you are still deciding between formats, the size guide for a living room with white walls and the delivery timing piece answer the questions that usually come next. And if the work is a gift, the Clifton Grove canvas edition travels well, kit included, which saves the recipient a shopping trip too.

The errand you avoid is the one you never notice avoiding.

Key takeaways

Every Arthur Lowe framed poster and canvas ships with a hanging kit included.
The fixings are matched to the format, so framed and canvas editions are packed differently.
Very large pieces may still warrant a second anchor point on older walls.
No separate hardware purchase is needed before the print goes up.

Related questions

Do I need my own nails or screws for an Arthur Lowe print?

No. The included kit covers a standard installation on drywall or plaster. If your wall is unusual, such as brick or old lath, a masonry fixing from a hardware shop is the safer choice, but that applies to any framed work, not this edition specifically.

Does the canvas edition include hardware as well?

Yes. Canvas editions arrive with their own fittings so the work can be hung on arrival. Because a canvas sits flush against the wall, the included fittings are designed for that profile rather than for a frame with a hanging wire.

Is the hanging kit included when the print is a gift?

It is. The kit travels with the edition wherever it is sent, so the recipient does not need to buy anything before hanging. If the gift is going abroad, the guide on sending canvas editions to Europe covers the practical details.
