Presentation: Professionally printed and mounted between sheets of perspex (frameless).

Presentation explained:
Perspex mounting is a contemporary way to present photographic prints for interiors. The colour print is bonded to clear acrylic using a silicon gel and then backed with a black acrylic substrate. Once the perspex has been bonded to the front of the print the appearance is of high definition with deep saturated colour. The completed piece is supplied with an aluminium sub-frame, which floats the panel from the wall. Reverse perspex has a reflective diamond polished finish with a stunning flawless result. Printed, mounted & finished by Metro Imaging.

Orientation: This artwork is best displayed horizontally.

Authentication: Prints are signed on verso and supplied with a Certificate of Authenticity.

Printed, mounted & finished by: Metro Imaging.

Delivery: Metro Imaging in Central London use an experienced shipping service to deliver the reverse perspex mounted prints. Metro take great care ensuring that prints are very well protected and efficiently delivered in the UK and overseas. Metro offer a vast array of delivery options to suit the recipient’s preference, all of which is overseen by Mr Steel.

Subject information:
Cycas revoluta, one of the most primitive living plants, are very unusual and popular ornamentals. A rugged trunk, topped with whorled feathery leaves has lead to the common name ”Sago Palm”. Often called ”living fossils”, Cycads have changed very little in the last 200 million years. While various species of Cycads can be found throughout the world, the subtropical Cycas revoluta is native to the Far East and has been used as a choice container and landscape plant for centuries. The growth habit of Cycas revoluta displays an upright trunk topped with stiff feather-like leaves growing in a circular pattern. Rather than continuously adding foliage, Sagos produce a periodic flush of new leaves. Eventually, offsets begin to grow at the base of the specimen, and occasionally in the crown. The addition of offsets provides a source of new plants and many possibilities for developing an unique specimen. Regardless of age or size, Cycas revoluta is one of the easiest plants to grow, indoors or out, by beginner or expert. This subtropical adapts to a wide range of temperatures from -11 to 42 degrees C, accepts full sun or bright interior light, thrives with attention, and tolerates neglect. In addition, Cycads are extremely long-lived.
