How Long a Made-to-Order Lanceray Print Takes

The honest answer has three parts, not one. Production, framing and transit each add their own days, and the total depends more on the format than the artist.

The short answer

A made-to-order print typically arrives within one to two weeks of ordering. Unframed canvas usually takes 3 to 5 business days to produce plus 2 to 5 days in transit. Framed editions add roughly 3 to 7 days because the frame is built after printing. International delivery can extend the total past two weeks.

The Three Phases Behind the Wait

Every made-to-order print moves through the same three phases. First, production, where the image is printed and left to dry or cure. Second, finishing, which for a framed piece means mounting, glazing and assembly. Third, transit, which depends entirely on the distance between the workshop and your door. The artist's name changes none of this.

What the format changes is the middle phase. An unframed canvas print is often ready to ship within 3 to 5 business days, since it needs only stretching and a quality check. A framed poster or panel takes longer because the frame itself is cut and assembled to order. If you are working toward a specific date, the frame is the variable to watch, and the choice between the two is covered in choosing canvas or a framed poster.

What Determines Your Delivery Date

Order early if the print is needed for an event. A realistic buffer is two weeks for domestic delivery and three for international, which absorbs a slow courier or a customs hold without forcing a difficult conversation. Rushing the production phase is rarely possible, because ink and varnish need time to set before packing.

Transit times vary more than production times. A domestic shipment typically moves in 2 to 5 business days once it leaves the workshop. Cross-border shipments can take a week or more, and customs clearance sits outside anyone's control. The published ranges in the Auvrique shipping policy reflect those averages rather than a guarantee, and any seller promising a fixed date on a made-to-order piece is promising something they do not fully control.

The same logic applies to any edition in the catalogue, whether you order a canvas print or pick a framed city view like the framed Cahors poster. The format sets the clock.

Timeline at a Glance

Unframed canvas production usually runs 3 to 5 business days.
Framed editions add roughly 3 to 7 days for assembly.
Domestic transit typically takes 2 to 5 business days.
International orders should allow two to three weeks in total.

Planning Around a Deadline

If the artwork is meant to hang for a specific occasion, order the moment the decision is made rather than after. The difference between ordering ten days ahead and three weeks ahead is the difference between a calm delivery and a tracked parcel checked hourly. Most delays, when they happen, come from customs or carrier backlogs, not from printing.

It is also worth confirming what you are buying before the clock starts. Auvrique does not currently carry editions of Eugene Lanceray's work, so a Lanceray order would sit outside this timeline entirely. The same production and shipping phases apply across the catalogue, from a large coastal canvas like the Carmel fog canvas to a lakeside scene such as the Lake Leman evening canvas, and the ranges above hold for each.

The frame, not the courier, is where most of the wait actually lives.

Format	Production	Total to Door
Unframed canvas	3 to 5 business days	About 1 to 2 weeks
Framed poster	5 to 10 business days	About 2 weeks
International order	Same as domestic	2 to 3 weeks or more

Key takeaways

A made-to-order print generally arrives within one to two weeks, framed pieces at the longer end.
Production, framing and transit are separate phases, and the frame adds the most time.
International orders should be budgeted at two to three weeks because of customs.
Ordering well ahead of the event is the only reliable protection against carrier delays.

Related questions

Can a made-to-order print be rushed for an event?

Production speed is largely fixed, since ink and finishes need time to set before packing. Some sellers offer expedited shipping, which shortens transit but not the workshop phase. The dependable strategy is ordering at least two weeks before the date, three if the shipment crosses a border.

Does a framed print take longer than an unframed canvas?

Yes, usually by several days. A canvas is printed, stretched and inspected. A framed piece adds mounting, glazing and frame assembly after the print itself is done. Expect the framed version to reach you roughly 3 to 7 days later than the same image unframed.

Does the artist affect the production time?

No. A Lanceray print and any other reproduction move through the same printing and finishing process. What matters is the format, the size and the destination. Larger formats can add a day or two in handling, and international destinations add the most time of all.
