Gheorghe Petrascu prints arrive ready to hang

The short answer is yes for framed editions and no for canvas. Auvrique does not currently stock this artist, so the real question is what any reproduction house should include and what it should not.

The short answer

For framed poster editions, a hanging kit is included. That kit usually contains two wall hooks and matching screws, plus a small packet of wall plugs for masonry. Canvas editions do not come with hardware, because they hang from a stretcher bar. Auvrique does not currently offer editions by Gheorghe Petrascu, so the question is best answered as a general rule for reproduction prints.

What arrives in the box

A framed poster arrives as a finished object. The frame is already assembled, the print is mounted, and the hanging hardware is tucked into the packaging. You do not need to source anything separately before the piece goes on the wall. The kit is small and light, so it travels inside the same box as the print rather than as a separate shipment. That matters when you are moving a single piece into a room and want the whole job done in one sitting.

The hardware is basic by design. Two hooks and screws cover the standard wire or bracket on the back of the frame. Wall plugs are included for solid walls, which is the most common case in older buildings. If you live in a plasterboard partition, you will still need a separate anchor solution. No kit covers every wall type, and pretending otherwise would create more damage than it prevents.

Canvas editions and what they omit

A canvas print is built on a stretcher bar, not inside a frame. The surface is tensioned across the wood, and the piece hangs from the bar itself rather than from a backing plate. That is why a hanging kit is not included with canvas editions. The buyer is expected to supply their own fixing, which is usually a single hook or a wire system rated for the weight of the stretched canvas.

This is not a cost saving or a shortcut. It is a different way of mounting a surface. A canvas can sit flush against a wall with one fixing point, whereas a framed poster needs two. The trade off is that canvas demands a slightly more deliberate installation, especially on heavier sizes. If you want the convenience of included hardware, a framed poster is the clearer choice. buy the canvas edition is not the right path for that preference.

What each format includes

Framed poster: print, frame, hanging hooks, screws and wall plugs
Canvas print: stretched canvas only, no hardware
Both formats: protective packaging, no separate hardware shipment
Neither format: wall anchors for plasterboard or tile

Installing without extra hassle

The simplest installation is also the most common one. Measure the width of the frame, mark the two hook positions at the right height, and drive the screws into the wall at the marked points. The wire or bracket on the back of the frame then sits level without further adjustment. That is the whole process for a standard interior wall in good condition.

The pain point most buyers describe is not the hanging itself but the separate trip to buy hardware. A kit that arrives with the print removes that step entirely. It also removes the risk of buying the wrong screw length or the wrong plug for the wall. If your wall is not standard, plan for that before the print arrives rather than after. how long shipping takes is a separate question, but it matters here because you want the hardware in hand on the same day the print lands.

A hanging kit removes one errand, not every errand. The wall still decides what the screw will hold.

Format	Hardware included	What you supply
Framed poster	Hooks, screws, wall plugs	Drill or hammer for fixing
Canvas print	Nothing	Hook or wire rated for weight
Both formats	Protective packaging	Wall type assessment

Key takeaways

Framed poster editions include a basic hanging kit with hooks, screws and wall plugs.
Canvas editions do not include hardware because they hang from the stretcher bar.
A kit removes the separate hardware trip but does not cover plasterboard or tile walls.
Auvrique does not currently offer editions by Gheorghe Petrascu, so treat this as a general rule.

Related questions

What is actually in a hanging kit for a framed poster?

The kit is small and functional. It usually contains two metal hooks, two matching screws, and a few wall plugs for solid walls. That is enough for a standard interior wall. It is not a full toolkit and it is not intended for heavy masonry or fragile surfaces.

Can I hang a canvas print without buying extra hardware?

No. A canvas print arrives without any hanging hardware because it is tensioned on a stretcher bar. You need to supply a hook or wire that matches the weight of the piece. For lighter canvases a single hook is often enough, but heavier sizes need a rated fixing.

What if my wall is plasterboard or tiled?

The standard kit covers solid walls only. Plasterboard and tile require separate anchors or fixings that the kit does not include. Plan for that before the print arrives, because the wrong fixing can damage the wall and leave the print unstable.
