Gold Tapestry

from $89.00

"Gold Tapestry" is a piece from autumn in Tasmania (lutruwita) and a 35mm fine art photography print. At Cradle Mountain during this time of year, the once verdant hillsides give way to a sea of gold, as the fabled Fagus tree transforms the hillscapes into a tapestry of colour. The Turning of the Fagus is a time of year that the indigenous, locals and visitors alike hold dear, as they bask in the natural beauty of the island state and its deep connection to the changing of the seasons.

The Fagus, the deciduous beech, is a unique tree and grows only in Tasmania. It is one of the few deciduous trees in Australia and turns a beautiful shade of gold and red in the autumn months — and occurs only in unburnt land. For the indigenous Palawa people of lutruwita, the Fagus has a deep-rooted cultural history and is believed to have survived since the Gondwanan age. Resourcefully, they would use the bark of the Fagus to make baskets, while the leaves were used for medicinal purposes.

With every purchase, 1% of the sale is donated to wildlife rehabilitation and care.

  • We offer the option to order your print with or without a 3cm white border. This isn’t a mat board, but it gives a similar visual effect. If you choose the white border, the overall print will still match the A size you selected, so you can choose a standard A-size frame. The difference is simply in the presentation:

    With the border, there will be a white margin around the print. There may be slight cropping of the image with this option.

    Without the border, the print will fit edge-to-edge within the frame.

    You can still add a custom mat board during framing if you’d like, depending on the look you’re after.

  • We use 310gsm smooth cotton rag paper. This premium material enhances depth and is perfect for capturing soft tones and shadows, creating a timeless fine-art feel. To ensure lasting quality, we print with archival pigment-based inks, which provide rich, fade-resistant colour under proper care.

  • Our prints are sold unframed, allowing you the freedom to choose a framing style that suits your space. However, if you're looking for a high quality, sustainable framer, feel free to reach out as we’d be happy to recommend one.

  • We take care when producing our prints so please allow up to 7 days for them to be shipped. Processing times may vary based on order volume.

    We do not accept returns unless faulty due to prints being made to order.
