    About This Art

    In the 1890s, this would have felt radical. It still does. A working seaman's reference, drawn with real care, hung on a wall as something worth looking at. Put it up and a plain wall gets a focal point that people actually read — guests lean in, find the bowline, argue about the reef knot. It suits a study wall behind a desk, a hallway at eye level, or a boot room above the hooks. Pair it with painted panelling, aged leather, oak or weathered timber, navy textiles and rope-handled baskets. Don't crowd it with busy pattern or other lettered pieces — the labels need clear air to be legible. As a canvas it has a softer, matt surface with no glare from side windows.

    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.

    Can you actually read the knot names at smaller sizes?

    At medium and larger sizes the labels read comfortably from a metre or so away. Small sizes still look right, but the lettering under each knot becomes more of a texture than something you'd read across a room. If the naming matters to you — and it usually does with a chart like this — go a size up.

    Will it look out of place if we're nowhere near the coast?

    No. The palette is cream, sand and warm brown rather than seaside blue, so it reads as an old reference chart first and a nautical piece second. It sits happily in a landlocked study, hallway or boot room, especially alongside timber, leather and painted panelling.

    Does it work above a sofa or is it better somewhere else?

    It can sit above a sofa, but it earns its keep where people pass close by — a hallway, study wall or entryway. Above seating you tend to view it from a distance, which wastes the detail. If you do use it over a sofa, hang it lower than usual and keep the wall around it clear.
