    About This Art

    Unlike most botanical art, this doesn't wait for approval. A large dragonfly sits dead-centre against a near-black ground, framed by coral blooms, golden seedheads and trailing leaves. The vintage exhibition typography gives the whole thing a quiet authority.

    Put it up and the room gets a focal point. Walls that felt flat suddenly have a centre of gravity, and the deeper colours in your sofa, rug or curtains start to make sense.

    It works hardest on a darker wall — inky blue, deep green or warm charcoal — in a hallway, study or above a console. Eye-level is best so the dragonfly meets you head on.

    Pair with aged leather, dark stained wood, brass fittings and linen in earthy tones. A table lamp nearby lifts the gold detail in the evening.

    Avoid hanging next to busy floral wallpaper or other heavy posters — this piece wants the wall to itself. Stretched over a wooden frame and ready to hang straight from the box.

    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 dark background look too heavy in a small room?

    It can actually help. In a small hallway or study, a darker piece on a darker wall makes the space feel intentional rather than cramped. If your walls are pale, hang it at eye level with a warm lamp nearby — the gold detail lifts and the near-black recedes more than you'd expect.

    Is the exhibition text part of the design or can it be removed?

    The vintage exhibition text — William Morris, Cotton Prints Exhibition, South Kensington and the dates — is part of the design and stays as printed. It's a decorative nod to old museum posters, not a real event, and it gives the piece its poster character.

    Does it work above a sofa or is it better in a hallway?

    It can work above a sofa if the sofa is dark or leather and the wall behind is deep in colour. In a pale, soft living room it tends to dominate. The format is portrait and quite tall, so hallways, studies and above a console suit it best.
