What Makes Our Patent Prints Different:

Our prints are unlike any others! Each piece is carefully chosen for its unique historical and artistic value. I personally restore these documents to bring out their original charm — removing most imperfections while keeping that authentic antique feel. We also use a high-end printing lab with professional photo printers, premium archival inks, and acid-free Lustre paper. This special paper combines the vibrant colors of glossy prints with a matte finish that’s resistant to fingerprints and glare, giving you a beautiful, long-lasting print.

Shipping:

We take great care to ensure your prints arrive safely! Most prints are shipped flat-packed in a sturdy box with protective materials to keep them in perfect condition. Larger prints may be shipped in a rigid mailing tube, also with protective materials.
