Description
Golden Stone – an excavated tablet
A single gold-and-umber tablet, standing almost the full height on a lavender-grey plaster, like an excavated stone: the tablet sits slightly left of centre, with organically broken edges and a clear notch cut into its right flank in the upper third.
Technique & Texture
Inside, the brightest hammered gold stretches across the top third and darkens progressively downward through rust into a deep umber at the foot, crossed by horizontal scratched bands. This is a hand-painted painting on canvas – the tablet carries the real rough texture of stone.
The Motif
A dark shadow clings to its lower right edge, and the ground is a cool lavender-grey plaster, slightly darker in the corners. A lone form on a calm ground: a stone given weight by the emptiness around it.
Styling & Placement
A painting for bedrooms, living rooms and offices; the gold-umber tablet draws the eye, and the cool ground calms it. Wall art for rooms that love one strong form.

Golden Stone: sizes for upright walls
Golden Stone comes in 16 upright sizes, from 40 x 63 to 200 x 319 cm. Beside a bedside table 50 x 79 cm is enough, and on a narrow wall between windows the gold-and-umber tablet works at 60 x 95 or 70 x 111 cm. Over a 135 cm console take 90 x 143 cm, which covers about two thirds of its width, while a tall stairwell wall takes 130 x 207 or 150 x 239 cm.
In the photograph Golden Stone hangs in a thin gold frame on a dark slatted wall above a grey upholstered bench in a café setting. A frame for Golden Stone is added only if you want one, since the Frame menu starts at “Without frame”. Choose YES under Stretcher and the lavender-grey canvas arrives stretched on a wooden stretcher, ready to hang. Delivery takes 15–45 days. The painting Golden Stone is hand-painted with hammered gold and scratched bands, so it is not a print.
Questions about Golden Stone
Which size of Golden Stone fits over a 135 cm console?
Two thirds of 135 cm is about 90 cm, so choose 90 x 143 cm; the gold tablet then stays in proportion to the console.
Does Golden Stone arrive ready to hang?
Yes, with YES under Stretcher the lavender-grey plaster ground with its gold tablet comes stretched on wood.
Can I order Golden Stone in a size that is not among the 16?
Yes, we paint the gold-and-umber tablet on lavender-grey plaster as a painting made to order in your measurements.
Is the gold on Golden Stone printed?
No, the hammered gold, rust and umber are laid on by hand, so the tablet has a real rough surface.
