Why Belgian Linen?
Similar to the impact that France's climate has on French wines, Belgium's climate has been producing the finest quality linen painting supports for hundreds of years. In fact, it was the difficulty that Utrecht founder Norman Gulamerian had in buying Belgian linen canvas for his artwork that prompted Norman and his brother Harold to start Utrecht Linens by importing Belgian linen. Pure Belgian linen is one sign of a superior painting surface.
