Think of it as traditional Chinese bird-and-flower painting with less reverence and better instincts. The birds are stylised, the gold moon sits dead centre, and the whole thing is drawn in fine gold line. Put it up and a flat sage-green or off-white wall suddenly has a focal point, with just enough red to lift a quiet room. It earns its place above a sideboard in a dining room, on a bedroom wall, or at the end of a hallway where you want something to walk towards. Pair it with cane, dark wood, brass handles and cream linen. Don’t crowd it with other patterned pieces busy florals or strong graphics either side will flatten the gold detail. As a canvas it reads softer and sits flat against the wall with no reflection.
