Gilded Peacock on Weathered Gold Canvas Print

We like a peacock best when it comes with a little abrasion. Here the bird sits on a cracked, gold-flecked wall that looks like it has weathered a few decades, and that roughness is what stops the piece feeling showy. Hang it and a plain room gains a warm centre: the gold pulls in lamplight, the deep blues and greens give the eye somewhere to land. It works above a sofa, a sideboard or a dining table, at a height where you can see the feather detail. Pair it with warm woods, velvet, aged leather and chalky walls. Don't crowd it with other bold pieces or busy wallpaper — it wants breathing room either side. As a canvas it reads like a wall panel, which suits the plaster look.
