Cornish Tin Mines framed wall art - professionally finished and available up to a 24in x 16in Print in a 30in x 20in Frame.
With its strong vertical structure and monochrome tones, South Wheal Frances Mine creates a bold and architectural focal point suited to modern or heritage interiors. Ideal for living rooms, studies, or feature walls, it pairs well with neutral palettes, adding contrast and depth.
South Wheal Frances is a former copper and tin mine on the Great Flat Lode, just south of Camborne, Cornwall, and was the largest of the four setts that eventually amalgamated under the umbrella of Basset Mines Ltd.
Mining began in the local area in the early 1720s and by the early 20th century, several thousand men, women, bal maidens and children worked in the mine, however a slump in tin prices during World War I led to the mine's closure in 1918. Once part of a network of mines that shaped the Cornish landscape and economy, the remaining engine houses and chimneys now stand as reminders of 19th-century mining activity. These structures were built to house steam engines used for pumping water and raising ore from deep underground.
In monochrome, the engine house stands prominently with its chimney rising above dense vegetation. A second structure appears further back, adding depth to the scene. The contrast between light sky and darker foreground emphasises the texture of the stone and the strong vertical elements within the composition.
This framed photographic print offers a refined and ready-to-hang way to display your chosen image. Professionally produced and carefully finished, it combines high-quality printing with traditional framing craftsmanship to create a piece of wall art that complements both modern and classic interiors.
Your image is printed on premium lustre photographic paper, chosen for its fine stippled surface and balanced sheen. This finish enhances colour depth and detail while reducing reflections, allowing the image to remain clear and vibrant in a wide range of lighting conditions.
The print is presented within a hand-made solid wood frame featuring a clean square-edge profile. Available in six carefully selected colours – black, white, brown, natural, antique silver, and antique gold - the frame provides a versatile and timeless presentation.
The frame is finished with HD acrylic glaze, a lightweight and shatter-resistant alternative to traditional glass. This ultra-clear acrylic protects the print while maintaining excellent clarity, helping to preserve colour and detail for years to come.
Each frame arrives ready to hang with pre-positioned wall fixings on the reverse, allowing the artwork to be positioned easily and securely. Available in sizes up to 24in x 16in Print in a 30in x 20in Frame, this old cornish mine framed print offers a simple and elegant way to introduce high-quality photography into your home.

I'm absolutely made up with the print I received from Real World Art. I went for the Koi Carp image - It's very evocative and they've totally captured the serenity you feel watching Koi. You can almost hear the babbling water! What's more, it's a top quality print, pin-sharp and looks great framed up. Couldn't recommend them any higher.. lovely to deal with.. thank you.
Today I had the pleasure of picking up a framed and mounted print of 'Dandelion Clock' its absolutely stunning. The clarity is just crazy!! Now to decide where to put it!! Really beautiful work.
