For Art Supply Retailers
An art-supply retailer sells the working envelope: a painter walks in with a canvas size and needs an easel that holds it, or a framer needs bars in the section they use. That is why the adult and canvas lines publish height range, maximum canvas, load and bar section per model - the numbers a counter assistant has to answer with, not a marketing line about adjustability.
What this buyer needs from the range
- Height range and maximum canvas stated per easel, so the counter can match an easel to a canvas.
- Load figures where the supplier records them, because a heavy canvas is the reason a customer comes back.
- Bar sections and depths for the framing side, with carton counts for a volume order.
- A clear distinction between a canvas frame and stretcher bars, and between a box and a box easel.
- Accessories and spares recorded against the models they fit, for the aftermarket.
How we supply it
- Seven adult subcategories and three canvas subcategories, each with its own specification page.
- The working envelope per model: height travel, maximum canvas, load, fold and wood species.
- Canvas frames by inner size and bars by section and depth, with carton data.
- No prices published - the quotation is built per model, finish and market.
- A model index that lets a counter look up a size rather than a catalogue page.
FAQ
How do I match an easel to a canvas size?
Use the maximum canvas field on each model page, and check it against the height range. A studio easel that takes a 110 cm canvas at the top of the mast is not the same working position as one that takes it with the tray low. For a customer with a canvas over about a metre, the H-frame group is the right place to start; for a canvas up to about 60-110 cm the A-frame and studio models cover the range.
Do you supply the canvas and the frame together?
They are separate models in the same line, and a retailer can stock both and sell the pair. The canvas frames are bought by inner size and the blank canvases by size, and the sizes are recorded per model so the two can be matched before an order. What this site does not do is a custom-print or framing service - the models are standard trade sizes, and the printing, stretching and framing are the retailer's or the framer's side of the job.
Are there spares for the easels you supply?
Yes, as a separate peripherals group: trays, roll holders, spindles and fittings recorded against the models they fit. The minimums on accessories are lower than on the easels, so a retailer can restock a part without a container of easels. Where a customer brings in a part from another supplier, the honest answer is to measure the fitting - spindle diameter, tray width, clamp span - and compare it with the recorded dimensions rather than promising a universal fit.
