Description

Golden Vein – a geological cross-section in grey
A single horizontal mineral vein through a calm grey field: it crosses the canvas slightly above centre, its left end a dark rust-umber earth with white scratches and pale lichen patches, and from there the vein turns to hammered gold.
Technique & Texture
The golden part runs to the right edge, threaded with grey veins and cracks, its edges fraying into the grey. This is a hand-painted painting on canvas – the gold is hammered in leaf, and the earth carries a real rough texture.
The Motif
Above and below the vein stretches a grey plastered field, slightly warmer at the bottom, with faint drips along the base. A cross-section through rock, where earth and gold meet on a single layer – a quiet geological tale.
Styling & Placement
A calm canvas painting for living rooms, offices and dining rooms; the grey ground and the golden vein pair beautifully with wood, stone and brass. Wall art for walls that love quiet and depth.

Golden Vein: a landscape canvas for dining rooms, sofas and beds
Golden Vein is painted in 16 landscape sizes, from 60 x 35 to 320 x 175 cm. Over a 180 cm dining table, 120 x 65 cm covers about two thirds of its length, and over a 200 cm sofa choose 130 x 72 or 140 x 80 cm. Above a bed 160–180 cm wide the grey ground with its gold band works at 120 x 65 cm, a long hallway takes 200 x 110 cm, and a large empty wall even 240 x 130 cm.
In the photograph Golden Vein hangs in a slim gold frame above a white dining table with cream chairs, on a grey panelled wall. You choose a frame for Golden Vein in the Frame menu, which starts at “Without frame”, and YES under Stretcher brings the canvas stretched, ready to hang. Delivery of Golden Vein takes 15–45 days. The gold is laid in leaf, the rust earth has a rough texture, and Golden Vein is hand-painted, so it is not a print.
Questions about Golden Vein
Which size of Golden Vein goes over a dining table?
For a 180 cm table choose 120 x 65 cm, and for a 210 cm table 140 x 80 cm, so the gold band stays in proportion with the table.
Is the slim gold frame included with Golden Vein?
No, the gold frame of Golden Vein is an option you add in the Frame menu, which starts at “Without frame”.
Can I order Golden Vein in a size that is not among the 16?
Yes, we paint the mineral vein in its grey field as a painting made to order in your measurements.
Is Golden Vein a print?
No, the gold is hammered in leaf and the dark earth at the left end has a real rough texture, applied by hand.
