Description
Golden Border – a night coast between black and white
A night coast in three materials: a black zone holds the lower half of the canvas, its upper edge furrowed and rising toward the right – the black bites highest just right of centre – and within it run creased vein lines.
Technique & Texture
The gold is not a thin line but a broad band along the border and above it: impasto gold mounds on the left, scattered plates across the centre and a heavy cluster on the right. This is a hand-painted abstract painting – white impasto dabs mix into the gold and spill like foam over the black edge.
The Motif
The upper quarter stays calm, warm white with barely visible trowel marks – a sky above the coast that leaves all the drama to the border. An almost baroque abundance on a single line: that is why the painting carries the border in its name.
Styling & Placement
A dramatic decorative painting for living rooms, dining rooms and reception areas; the black grounds it, and the gold makes sure it glows in the evening light – wall art for walls that can carry contrast.

Choosing a size for Golden Border
Golden Border is painted in 14 square sizes, from 40 x 40 to 180 x 180 cm. Let the black and gold edge span roughly two thirds of the furniture beneath it: 130 x 130 cm over a 200 cm sofa, 100 x 100 cm above a 150 cm sideboard, and 60 x 60 cm for a hallway. Pick YES in the Stretcher menu and the Golden Border canvas arrives stretched on a wooden stretcher, ready to hang. A frame for Golden Border is optional, since the Frame menu starts at Without frame, and delivery takes 15–45 days.
In the photograph the black and gold painting hangs in an optional thin dark frame above two brown leather armchairs and a round wooden side table. Golden Border is hand-painted on canvas, and its gold impasto and white foam over the black are not printed.
Who is Golden Border for?
Golden Border is a painting for a wall that can take contrast: a black lower half, a warm white upper part and between them a broad gold band that spills like foam over the black edge. It reads like a coast at night, yet it is abstract enough for a modern office or a reception area. The black grounds the painting and the gold glows in the evening light, so it suits a living room with leather furniture, a dining room or a space with brass and dark wood. The square hangs on its own above a sofa, a chest of drawers or in a hallway.
How is Golden Border painted?
Golden Border is hand-painted by our painters in three materials. The black zone gets a furrowed upper edge and creased vein lines, the gold is laid in thick impasto, in mounds on the left, scattered plates across the centre and a heavy cluster on the right, and white impasto dabs mix into the gold and spill over the black. The upper quarter stays calm, with barely visible trowel marks. The photograph shows Golden Border hanging in a slim dark frame above two leather armchairs. Because every layer of gold is laid by hand, the border is different on every canvas. You receive a photograph of the finished Golden Border to approve before we send it.
Rolled, stretched or framed?
We ship Golden Border the way you choose: rolled, stretched on a wooden stretcher bar, or framed. In our workshop in Slovenia, Golden Border is stretched and, on request, framed. With YES under Stretcher you can hang it the day it arrives; rolled makes sense when a framer near you will frame it. A slim dark frame like the one in the photograph brings out the gold, while unframed the black runs to the edge of the canvas.
How should I hang and care for it?
Keep the centre of the painting at eye level, about 150 cm from the floor; above a sofa or chest of drawers, leave the bottom edge 20 to 30 cm over the back or top. Gold comes alive in warm side light, so a wall or floor lamp near Golden Border helps. Do not rub the thick gold impasto: lift dust with a soft dry brush, without water or cleaners.
Is Golden Border a good gift?
Black and gold together look festive, which makes Golden Border a gift for a housewarming, an anniversary or a new office. The 40 x 40 and 50 x 50 cm squares fit a shelf, a hallway or the space above a chest of drawers. Unsure about their wall? Then a gift voucher lets them choose instead.
Questions about Golden Border

For a sofa of about 200 cm we suggest 130 x 130 cm, close to two thirds of its width; over a shorter settee 110 x 110 cm is enough.
Does Golden Border arrive ready to hang?
Yes – with YES in the Stretcher menu, Golden Border is stretched on a wooden stretcher and only needs a hook.
