Its distressed antique gold frame strikes that rare balance between ornate and understated—grand enough for a feature wall, restrained enough to avoid visual heaviness. The metal construction develops patina beautifully over time, which actually works in its favour; it softens rather than ages poorly. This works particularly well in layered, eclectic schemes alongside brass fixtures, warm woods, and jewel-tone textiles. Fair warning: the distressed finish means it won't suit clinical, ultra-modern interiors. Position it where natural light can catch the frame's texture—it's genuinely better when the aging shows.
