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.
Questions about Golden Border
Which size of Golden Border works above a sofa?
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.
Is a frame included with Golden Border?
A frame for Golden Border is optional – the Frame menu defaults to Without frame, and the thin dark frame is a separate choice.
Can I order Golden Border in a size that is not listed?
If none of the 14 square sizes from 40 x 40 to 180 x 180 cm suits your wall, write to us about a painting made to order.
