Wishlists
How to make an art-print wishlist with sizes that make sense
For an art-print wishlist, record the artist and exact print option, then distinguish the printed image, the sheet of paper and the finished frame. A single size in a title may not tell you how much wall space the final piece will need.
Identify the artwork and the offer
Save the artist’s name and artwork title, plus the particular version you are considering. A physical print, a framed print and a downloadable file are different offers even when they use the same image. Check which one the product page describes.
For an edition, note the edition information only as stated by the seller. Do not infer rarity, authenticity or future value from a picture or a limited-looking quantity. Your wishlist records what you want to check; it does not authenticate the work.
Name the measurement instead of saving a bare number
Look for separate dimensions for the image and the paper, including any border. If the piece is framed, find the outside dimensions of that frame. Keep the units and the order of width and height clear in your note.
As an invented example, a listing might describe a 20 × 25 cm image on a 30 × 40 cm sheet. Those measurements describe different things. If the frame is not included, neither number tells you the final outside size on your wall.
Art-print note
Select and copy this note, then fill in what is useful.
Artist / artwork: Physical print, framed print or download: Selected edition / paper / finish: Image dimensions (width × height, units): Paper dimensions: Outside framed dimensions, if known: Frame or mat included? Question for the seller or framer:
Compare the finished size with the space
Measure the available area and note nearby furniture or other pieces that affect the arrangement. Use the expected outside size of the finished frame when considering the wall space, rather than scaling it from a staged room photograph.
If you already own a frame, record its stated fitting size and ask the seller or framer what is needed for the particular print. A matching-looking size label is not enough to settle questions about borders, a mat or the finished presentation.
Keep framing and delivery questions visible
Write down whether the saved price covers just the print or also framing. Keep any unpriced extras as questions rather than folding guesses into the item price. Two prints can have similar listed prices while representing different completed purchases.
If you are choosing one of several pieces, remember that Fancies includes all active priced entries in the owner total. It does not know that they are alternatives. Use the notes to identify the choice you are making.
Save the reference without losing the source
In Fancies, add the product link, review any found details and keep the exact print option in your note. Use an image you can use or save without one. The artist, title and source link should still identify the work if the picture is missing.
Reopen the original page before deciding, since offers and availability can change. If you are saving a digital version, check the file details and the seller’s printing guidance on that page; saving a wishlist entry does not download the artwork.
