Commissioned in 1936 as part of the historic Index of American Design, Harold Merriam’s 'Tulip and Sunflower Chest' is a masterful documentation of early American decorative arts. The work captures the relief carvings of a traditional 17th-century Hadley chest with architectural precision, preserving the structural integrity and rustic elegance of the original woodwork. Every format is finished with the same clean white gallery border that floats the artwork in standard proportions with no cropping, ensuring a refined, gallery-ready presentation that respects the historical composition.
About Your Border
Every format — Fine Art Print, Framed Fine Art Print, Canvas and Framed Canvas — is supplied with a clean white gallery border framing the image on all four sides. The border is sized in proportion to the piece — approximately 10% of the shortest edge on each side (for example, about 3 cm of white border on a 30 cm-wide piece) — so the artwork keeps its standard proportions with no cropping and is ready to hang or frame straight away. If you prefer, you can also place your own mount/mat on top.
Would you like a different border width, a borderless full-bleed version, or any other adjustment? Just let us know within 24 hours of ordering and we'll tailor it for you at no extra cost.
