Animal Wall Art

Farm animals: highland cattle and horses

A highland cow suits a farmhouse kitchen, where a shaggy coat holds its own against painted cabinets and a well-used table. Our highland cow art prints are the place to start with animal wall art.

Horses sit alongside them, and both come from our own house brand. The Mane & Moor collection keeps the cattle and the horses under one name. A horse art print works in a mudroom, a hallway, or on the wall beside a desk. Together they make a small set of farm animal prints that can carry a room on its own.

Birds and American animals from old natural history plates

The older half of the range comes from printed plates. Audubon's American animals and birds appear beside other bird plates in the Birds & Botanicals collection. Works in this group were published in 1930 or earlier, so they are out of copyright in the USA.

Files come from public archives, libraries and museum collections, and a credit line appears on some artwork pages to name the archive that holds the file. Before printing we clear each file of dust and marks and correct the color balance. The picture itself is never repainted.

Realistic, painted and vintage looks share a wall

Realistic, painted and vintage animal wall art hangs together better than it sounds, as long as you repeat something. Settle on one frame finish, or set every picture at the same height, and the styles fall into a group.

The room usually picks the animal: cattle for a kitchen or a dining room, a horse for the wall by the door, a bird plate for a study. Kids' rooms are a separate job, and the nursery collection has its own page for them. Beyond animals, our full wall art range covers the rest.

Choosing a format and size

Every piece of animal wall art is sold as an art print, a framed print or a canvas. Sizes are not universal. We offer a shape only when the picture fills it with a small trim and the file carries enough detail. The preview shows the crop that will print, so check it before you order.

An art print is a giclée on 200gsm archival matte paper and comes unframed, with textured etching paper as the upgrade. Sizes range from 8 x 10 in to 40 x 60 in. A framed print puts the same sheet behind clear acrylic in a slim wood frame, which comes in oak look, black or white, and it arrives ready to hang in sizes from 8 x 10 in to 33 x 47 in. A white mat can be added. Canvas is 400gsm on a stretcher about 1.5 in deep, with mirrored edges that keep the picture whole on the face, in sizes from 8 x 10 in to 40 x 60 in. A float frame is optional, in the same three finishes, and hanging hardware is not in the box.
