The Angel Oak Artwork

Because this artwork is a large-format glass piece (72" x 36"), it requires secure mounting. Given its dimensions and the weight of the glass medium, it should be installed into wall studs or using heavy-duty toggle bolts. Based on our expertise with oversized wall decor, we highly recommend using a level during installation to maintain the horizontal profile and having two people present to handle the piece safely.

Verre Eglomise is a sophisticated French technique where the artist paints directly onto the reverse side of the glass. This method protects the pigment behind the glass surface while providing incredible depth and a luminous quality that traditional canvas cannot replicate. The result is a high-contrast, black-and-white tree silhouette that appears to come to life beneath the glass's polished finish.

To preserve the clarity of the image, our care guidelines recommend using a soft, lint-free cloth and a streak-free glass cleaner. Because the artistry is applied to the back of the glass, the front surface can be cleaned easily; however, you should avoid using harsh abrasives or scrubbing tools that could scratch the glass. For best results, spray the cleaner onto the cloth first rather than directly onto the piece to prevent liquid from seeping behind the edges.

This piece is specifically curated for large, uninterrupted walls often found in open-concept living areas, grand entryways, or urban lofts with high ceilings. Its horizontal orientation and monochromatic black-and-white palette make it a versatile choice for modern or transitional interiors, helping to bridge the visual gap between tall ceilings and furniture.

Measuring 72 inches wide, this oversized artwork is designed to serve as a primary focal point. To achieve a balanced look, we recommend following the "two-thirds rule," where the art spans approximately 60% to 75% of the furniture's width. This 6-foot wide piece is ideally scaled for placement above a standard 8-to-9-foot sofa or a large dining sideboard, ensuring the decor feels anchored rather than floating.

While the Verre Eglomise technique provides a beautiful aesthetic, the medium is glass. For homes with high activity, we suggest mounting the artwork at a height where it cannot be accidentally bumped. The glass surface is naturally resistant to fading and is easier to wipe clean of fingerprints than textured canvas, making it a durable choice for a formal dining room or a main living area where it remains out of reach of small hands or pets.
