Again, none of our products are identical to the others. They are all original and unique, and the photographs on our pages are for information purposes only, to help you choose your product.
Most of them come with their photographs (made by the artist their author), but promoting a wide range of works, made in different techniques, from different culture and origins, artdzign.com will not be responsible for the (slight) inaccuracies that may exist between their dimension and real appearance with respect to their illustration on our page.
You can always send us an email to sales@artdzign.com to inform you precisely about the availability in the category, type, finish and finishing of the desired product.
For the products that are not photographed, please also send us an email to propose an alternative.
