Thaumalea Amherstiae by Gould Canvas Print

Start with the deep green; it’ll wake every brass fitting around it. This is a faithful reproduction of John Gould’s 19th-century plate of Lady Amherst’s pheasant, drawn in fine detail with rich green, gold, orange and inky blue plumage against a soft cream ground. In a quiet room, it adds instant warmth and colour without shifting the whole scheme. Hang it above a sofa, a long sideboard or a leather chesterfield where the landscape shape can stretch out. It sits well with walnut timber, aged leather, brass lamps and painted walls in warm off-white, deep green or soft clay. Avoid crowding it with other busy patterns this piece prefers to lead. Stretched over a wooden frame, ready to hang.
