Where it works

A greater bird-of-paradise from Gould and Hart, chocolate body, yellow head and a cascade of golden plumes sweeping down the page past a plain brown female, with pink blossoms. Its tall sweep suits a bedroom, a dressing room or a stair wall at 16×24 in natural wood, with Gould's Toucan.

Framing. Choose Full-bleed for the plate edge to edge in a slim black or natural wood frame, or the White-mat border for a classic gallery look. Also available gallery-wrapped on canvas, ready to hang with no frame.

Pairing. Pairs as a set of three with other bird prints (10% off three or more).
