Floréal Pattern Plate 9 by E.A. Séguy Canvas Print

Floréal Pattern Plate 9 by E.A. Séguy Canvas PrintCall it vibrant if you want; we call it better walls. This is a 1920s pattern plate from E. A. Sguy's Floral portfolio four stylised floral panels in teal, purple, blue, deep green, red and warm yellow. Hang it and a quiet wall stops being quiet. The colour does the heavy lifting; the room follows. It belongs in a living room, study or hallway where you want one decisive thing happening on the wall. Eye level above a sideboard, console or low

What not to do: don't crowd it with other strong landscapes — one statement Highland scene per wall
