Art Prints
Three centuries between the oldest image here and the newest. A botanical plate from a European herbal beside a Mughal miniature; a stork from a naturalist's folio beside a piece of Bauhaus geometry. Every one printed to order.
The botanicals are the heart of it — hand-coloured studies from old herbals, the kind kept in a rare-book room. Around them: gods and goddesses, courtly scenes and palace gardens from the Indian tradition, and a quieter seam of modern line-work. If you love the images as much as the walls, the art books are next door.
Hang a single print over a desk, or let a wall grow over time — the sets are composed for exactly that, the postcard prints for tighter arrangements, and there are prints for children's rooms too. Few things are easier to give well.
Frequently Asked Questions
What's the difference between an art print and original art?
An original is a unique, one-off work — a single painting or drawing that exists only once. An art print is a reproduction of an image, produced so the same work can hang in many homes at a fraction of an original's cost. Both are real ways to live with art; the difference is uniqueness and price.
What is a botanical print?
A botanical print is an illustration of a plant — flower, leaf, fruit or root — drawn accurately enough to identify the species. The tradition began as scientific record in the 17th and 18th centuries, when botanists documented specimens by hand before photography existed. Those same plates are now valued as art for their precision and quiet beauty.
How do I choose wall art for my home?
Start with the room rather than the picture. Consider the wall's size, the height the work will hang at, and the light it gets through the day. A single piece sits best centred at eye level, around 145–150 cm to its middle, and reads well when it spans roughly two-thirds the width of the furniture beneath it. Colour and subject are personal; scale and placement are where most rooms go wrong.
What size art print should I choose for above a sofa or bed?
As a guide, a single piece or a group hung together should span about two-thirds the width of the furniture beneath it. Above a sofa, hang it with the centre roughly 20–25 cm above the backrest; above a bed, match the width of the headboard; in a narrow hallway, a row of smaller prints reads better than one large piece.
How do I create a gallery wall?
A gallery wall is a group of framed works hung together as one composition. Lay the frames out on the floor first and arrange them until the spacing feels even — usually 5 to 8 cm between frames — then hold that gap on the wall. A shared thread keeps it from looking accidental: one frame colour, a single palette, or one subject across every piece. Hang the largest work first and build outward from it.
Are your art prints printed in-house?
Yes. Every print is produced in-house and made to order rather than bought in, which lets us hold the colour and finish to our own standard on each piece, in sizes up to A2.
Are art prints good gifts?
Yes — a framed print is one of the few gifts that stays on the wall for years rather than in a drawer. It suits weddings, housewarmings and milestones, and carries more thought than most objects at the same price. Choosing a subject that means something to the person — their city, a flower, a deity they keep — makes it personal.
