    About This Art

    Rooms go quieter when warm brown is this sure of itself. This is Audubon's long-tailed duck plate from Birds of America, drawn with patient detail and printed on premium fine-art paper. The cream background gives the room space to breathe, while the brown plumage and dark tail feathers add weight without weighing things down. Hang it above a writing desk, a console in the hallway, or alongside a reading chair where its quiet authority can do the work. Pair with aged leather, linen, brass and a single stoneware vessel. Avoid hanging it against busy floral wallpaper or in a room already crowded with bold colour — it earns its keep when there's room around it.

    Printing, Paper and Frames

    Quality you can see (and feel)
    Printed using museum-grade giclée technology on thick, matte art paper - no glare, just soft, natural colour that looks beautiful.

    The kind of detail and depth that makes people lean in closer. Hand-framed in solid FSC-certified wood. Never cheap MDF or plastic-y veneers.

    Won't fade, even in direct sunlight
    Premium acrylic glaze with UV blocking keeps colours vibrant for 100+ years. Hang it anywhere - bedroom, hallway, that sunny spot above the sofa - without worry.

    Unbox, hang, done
    Arrives framed with fixtures already attached. Two minutes with a hammer and your wall goes from blank to "where did you get that?"

    Made responsibly
    FSC-certified wood and paper. Water-based, vegan inks. Crafted to order, so there's zero waste and zero guilt.

    How do I frame an art 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.

    What makes Fab frames so good?

    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.

    How do I hang art prints?

    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

    How close should I hang this to actually see the detail?

    Close enough to read from about a metre to two metres away. The plate has fine linework in the feathers and the ducklings, so it rewards being hung at eye level above a desk, console or seating where people slow down and look.

    Will the warm browns clash with grey or sage furniture?

    No. The cream background carries most of the weight, so the browns read as a soft anchor rather than a colour statement. It sits comfortably next to dove grey, sage green, off-white and stone, and pairs especially well with oak, walnut and linen.

    Does it work on its own or only as part of a set?

    Both. A single medium-sized plate above a writing desk or hallway console holds its own. If you want a fuller wall, three or four Audubon or botanical plates in matching frames make a quiet, considered grid without feeling crowded.
