one red mouth open mid-snarl

Stoneware vases and a few candles will pull the look together

leopard or zebra textiles

drawn with the patient eye of a Victorian naturalist and kept in soft cream

or as a single feature on a quiet wall

Peruvian Racket-Tail by John Gould Canvas Print whimsical pairing one red mouth open mid-snarlLeave the chalky off white wall blank if you like cautious rooms. This restored John Gould plate brings two Peruvian racket tail hummingbirds, blue berries and pale green foliage to a quiet corner and gives it something to look at. Hang it in a bedroom, study or hallway where people slow down above a low chest, a reading chair or a narrow console. It sits happily next to linen upholstery, oak or walnut timber, brass fittings and a few real plants.
