Lesser Scallop Shell Study Canvas Print

Good news—you don’t have to!

All of our prints are available professionally framed and ready to hang, so you can skip the trip to the framing shop and get straight to the fun part: styling your space. Here’s more info about our frames and service:

• Your choice of timeless frames - natural wood, black, white, brown, silver and, of course, gold.
  
• We use shatter-resistant acrylic glazing keeping delivery costs down and shielding your print from fading or sun damage—something cheaper glazes just don’t do.
  
• Every frame is carefully sealed on the back using acid-free, archival tape —keeping dust and moisture out and your print beautifully preserved.
  
• Hanging hardware already attached so just unbox, hang, and enjoy.

Prefer to frame it yourself? That’s totally fine too—we offer unframed prints in standard and A-sizes that fit most frames you can buy.

Not all frames are created equal. Many cheap frames are made with acidic materials or glazes that lack UV protection—meaning your beautiful print could fade, discolor, or deteriorate over time.

At Fab, we do things differently. Our frames are thoughtfully built to preserve and protect your artwork for the long haul. We use FSC-certified wood, 100% acid-free materials, and a UV-protective glaze to keep your print looking vibrant for decades.

That’s why our prints have an 80+ year archival lifespan—no fading, no yellowing, just art you’ll love for years to come.

If you're investing in art you love, it's worth framing it right.

It’s easier than you think—especially since our framed prints arrive ready to hang straight out of the box.

Here’s how to do it in a few simple steps:

1. Pick a wall that needs a little love—above a sofa, bed, desk, or entryway works great.
   
   
2. Make sure the space suits the size of your print (our size guide can help). Use painter’s tape or a pencil to mark where you want the top of the frame to sit.
   
   
3. For single prints, aim for eye level (around 57–60 inches from the floor). Every Fab framed print comes with hanging hardware already attached.

Use a picture hook, nail, or adhesive wall strips, depending on your wall type and the weight of the frame. That’s it—your space just got a whole lot more beautiful.

Bonus tip: For a gallery wall, lay your prints on the floor first to plan your layout before committing to the wall

It will blur rather than clash. The red bands sit close to peach on the colour wheel, so against peach or terracotta tiles the shell loses its edge and the wall reads as one warm smudge. It wants a cool or neutral background, white tile, pale grey paint or off-white panelling, where the red is the only warm note and does all the work.

Around 40cm square is the sweet spot for a standard basin or cloakroom wall. At that size the rib detail is clear from the doorway and the piece still leaves breathing room on either side. Go to 50 or 60cm above a double basin or a console. Below 30cm the shell becomes a small spot on the wall and the room stops noticing it.

Not if it hangs alone. The old plate style reads as a natural history study first and a beach motif second, so in a pale grey or white kitchen it comes across as collected rather than themed. Keep red utensils and orange accents off the worktop beneath it and let white ceramics and oak boards sit nearby. One shell, no other sea references, and the kitchen stays grown-up.
