Description
The Black and Gold painting: a two-panel abstract in black and gold strokes for above a sofa
The Black and Gold painting comes in 8 landscape sizes, from 60 x 45 to 200 x 150 cm, always as two panels. The menu sizes are the total of both black and gold panels together. Above a 220 cm sofa, choose 140 x 110 cm, about two thirds as wide as the sofa, and keep 180 x 135 cm for a high open wall. Above a 180 cm bed, choose 120 x 95 cm, and above a 90 cm hallway console, 60 x 45 cm.
The photograph shows both Black and Gold panels above a dark grey corner sofa. Both panels are stretched on wooden stretchers included in the price. Hang the two panels side by side with a narrow gap, centred over the sofa. Delivery takes 15–45 days. The whole painting, broad black strokes and gold accents alike, is hand-painted in relief, so it is not a print. The thin white frames in the photograph are for illustration only, and the Black and Gold set arrives unframed.
Why does Black and Gold work so well above a sofa?
Black and Gold lives on strong contrast: broad black strokes and gold accents on a white ground. Because it is split into two panels, it fills a wide wall above a sofa, bed or sideboard without reading as one heavy block; the gap between the panels lightens the wall and gives it rhythm. The black goes with dark grey, black and leather furniture, the gold with brass, warm light and wood, so the painting is at home in modern living rooms, offices and dining rooms. The two panels read as one composition, with the strokes carrying on across the gap.
How are the two panels painted?
Black and Gold is hand-painted by our painters, both panels as one composition. The broad black strokes and the gold accents are painted in relief, so the gold catches the light from the side. The strokes carry on across the join between the panels, and because everything is done by hand, no two paintings are the same. Before the two panels are packed, we send you a photograph of the finished pair to approve.
Stretched and unframed, or framed?
The price of Black and Gold includes the wooden stretchers: both panels are stretched in our workshop in Slovenia and arrive ready to hang. Multi-panel paintings always ship stretched and unframed; if you would like Black and Gold framed, we frame each panel on request when you order. The thin white frames in the photograph are for illustration only; unframed, the black strokes run to the edge of the canvas.
How do I hang a two-panel painting?
Start by fixing the shared centre of both panels at about 150 cm from the floor; above a sofa, keep the bottom edge 20 to 30 cm over the back. Hang the panels side by side with an even, narrow gap, a few centimetres is enough, and with their centres at the same height; a spirit level helps. A dry soft cloth or a dusting brush is all the care they need, no water or cleaners.
Is Black and Gold a good gift?
The small 60 x 45 cm size, the total for both panels, works as a gift and fits above a hallway console or a chest of drawers. The contrast of black and gold is elegant and suits a modern interior. If you do not know the recipient’s wall, a gift voucher is the better choice.
