Teal and gold carry the fountain’s ornament across the full frame — and the size you choose decides whether the room admires the sculpture from across the parlour or stands beside its details.

The eye settles first on the gilded detail, then travels the carved surfaces into the teal beyond. Because the composition is rich and layered, it asks for a wall left quiet around it, and in a parlour the viewer arrives seated — with the lower edge 6–10 inches above the sofa back, the picture and the furniture read as one composed group from the cushions and from the doorway alike. Width then decides how much presence the work claims, since ornament this dense needs clearance to either side before the gold can glow. Modest sizes hold the filigree and the sculpted forms at close range. Chosen large, the fountain steps into the room and becomes the anchor the parlour gathers around.

• Lateral Clearance — 12–18 in (30–46 cm) per side for small works; 18–30+ in (46–76+ cm) for large
• Hang Height — lower edge 6–10 in (15–25 cm) above the sofa back, center near 50–65 in (127–165 cm); read from seated
• Artwork Width — 70–85% of the sofa or console width beneath it
• Viewing Distance — 3–5 ft (0.9–1.5 m) close; 8–14 ft (2.4–4.3 m) for the full composition
