About This Art

We like a vintage natural history plate best when it comes with a little abrasion. This is Ernst Haeckel's jellyfish study from 1904 — deep green ground, soft pink medusae, eight specimens laid out with the calm logic of a museum cabinet.

Hang it and a quiet room picks up a thread of curiosity. The colour holds the wall without shouting, and the symmetry gives the eye somewhere to settle.

It earns its keep in a study, a hallway, or above a basin in a bathroom with a bit of character. Best at eye level, where you can lean in.

Pair it with dark wood, brass, linen, and old books. Off-white plaster, deep green panelling, or warm cream walls all suit it.

Don't stack it next to bright modern abstracts or holiday-poster colour — it wants neighbours that share its restraint. Stretched over a wooden frame and ready to hang.

We're serious about canvas art, ask away

From sizing to framing and print quality, Fab's art experts break it all down—so you can find the right art for your space.

Are Fab canvas prints good quality?

Absolutely. We use museum-grade canvas (the same stuff galleries use) stretched over solid wood frames. The canvas is thick enough that you can't see through it, and we wrap the print around the edges so there's no white border it looks finished from every angle.

When people see it on your wall, they'll assume you bought it at a gallery, not online.

Does it come ready to hang? Is it available framed?

Yes to both. Every canvas comes stretched over solid wood and ready to hang - hardware's already on the back, just hang it up.

You can choose unframed (modern, minimalist look - the print wraps around the edges) or add our real wood frame for a more polished, gallery finish. Either way, it's ready to go straight on your wall. No assembly, no extra trips to the frame shop.

How do I know what size will actually work in my space?

Here's the rule of thumb: your canvas should take up about 2/3 to 3/4 of the width of your furniture (like a sofa or bed). So if your couch is 180cm, you want something around 100-120cm wide.

Too small of a canvas looks lost on the wall. Too big overwhelms the room. If you're between sizes, go bigger it's almost always better to have impact than to have something that disappears.

Still not sure? Contact our team with a photo of your space and we'll tell you exactly what size will work.

What's your return policy?

If it shows up and you're not happy with it, you have 99 days to return it for a full refund—no questions asked.

We've been doing this long enough to know that sometimes a piece just doesn't work in your space, and that's fine. Just email us and we'll sort it out.

Will the deep green background look too dark on a small wall?

It reads as a warm, settled green rather than a heavy one — the soft pink and cream specimens lift it. On a small wall it acts a bit like a piece of painted panelling, giving the room depth without closing it in. It works especially well in narrow hallways and small bathrooms.

Is the detail readable from across the room?

The large central medusae read clearly from a few metres back, but the smaller numbered specimens reward stepping closer. Hang it somewhere you walk past or sit near — above a console, a desk, or a basin — rather than at the far end of a big room.

Does it work alongside other Haeckel plates or only on its own?

It pairs naturally with other Kunstformen der Natur plates in the same green ground — radiolarians, anemones, orchids — and with vintage botanicals or antique maps. Keep the cluster small, two or three pieces, so each plate keeps its weight.
