How it is made
Give us a moment: a date, roughly the time and a place. We calculate the point that was directly overhead and choose the catalogued galaxy nearest it. Its telescope photograph becomes the centre of the piece, set inside a fine gold ring with the compass points, above the place, the date and your dedication.
The palette is deep black and warm gold, so it sits as easily in a modern living room as above an old fireplace.

Choosing a size for the wall

- 11 × 14 in: a shelf, a desk, a bedside, a small gallery wall.
- 16 × 20 in: a hallway or above a chest of drawers.
- 24 × 30 in: above a sofa, a bed or a fireplace.
- 32 × 40 in: a wall of its own; the gold ring is about half a metre across.
The studio shows your piece to scale in a room before you order.
Hanging it, and what it goes with
The artwork is mostly black with gold lettering, so it sits easily with white, grey, sage or dark painted walls, and next to black-and-white photographs. On a gallery wall, use it as the anchor and keep the frames around it thin and dark.
Hang the centre at about 145 cm from the floor, the height galleries use, or a hand's width above a sofa back. The box frame comes with fittings on the back, so you only need a hook or a screw.
