A cast bow with two ribbon tails hangs a small oval landscape below it, the whole thing finished in an antique brass that has been rubbed back in the high spots. It is deliberately old-fashioned — the sort of thing that used to hang in a stairwell in a house with too many stairs — and at four and a half inches wide it goes exactly where a normal frame cannot. Three assorted styles means a group of them reads as a collection rather than a repeat. Browse more wall art.

Styling
Small art is hard to place on its own — hung alone on a big wall it just looks lost. These want a tight cluster, a narrow strip of wall between two doors, the side of a bookcase, or the inside of a cabinet door. Three of them in a vertical column, two inches apart, turns dead wall into something worth looking at.
The antique brass is warm, so it belongs with wood, brass hardware, leather and cream rather than with chrome and cool grey. In a powder room or a hallway they carry the whole wall on their own; in a living room they work best filling in around a larger framed piece. If you already own a mix of small brass objects, these join that family instantly. More in home decor, bedroom furniture and decor and more.
Care
- Dust with a dry, soft cloth or a soft brush around the cast detail
- Do not use metal polish — the antiquing is a finish, not tarnish, and polish removes it
- Keep the canvas dry; blot rather than wipe if it is ever marked
- Hang out of direct sun, which will lighten the printed landscape over time
- Use a picture hook rated above the piece's weight
- Cast pieces vary slightly, so no two finishes are identical
