A pale pumpkin and a small orange one sit on a dark wooden table with three ripe pears, a copper vase of dried hydrangea and one tall candle burning in a brass candlestick, a white moth resting on the linen cloth. The light comes from the candle and a single window, so the fruit glows and the rest of the room falls into shadow. This moody still life wall art is an original painting-style print on 200gsm matte fine-art paper with fade-resistant, archival-quality inks, framed in solid pine behind shatterproof plexiglass and ready to hang the day it arrives.
Why a Moody Autumn Still Life Belongs on the Wall
Fall wall art is usually a leaf print or a farmhouse sign, and both come down in November. A still life does not. In October the shadows and the moth make it cozy Halloween decor. In November it is the harvest table for Thanksgiving. From December to next September it is a dark, warm painting for a kitchen, a dining room or a hallway.
It is painted in the manner of the old Dutch still lifes, with one light source and a lot of shadow, but every object in it is our own and the palette is pure autumn: amber, cream, moss and the deep brown of the table. The wall above a sideboard or a breakfast table is hard to fill with something that is neither a sign nor a family photo, and this is made for exactly that spot. More pieces for the table and the cook sit in kitchen and dining room wall art, and the seasonal shelf is in holiday and seasonal wall art.
What You Get
TWO WAYS TO ORDER
Framed and ready to hang, or as an unframed print for a frame you already love. Choose the unframed print in the options and it arrives on its own, made to order on the same paper as our framed pieces, without a frame, plexiglass or hanging hardware. Everything on this page about the frame and hanging describes the framed version.
- Framed and ready to hang. It arrives set in your chosen frame with the hanging hardware fitted. Nothing to assemble and no trip to a framer.
- Solid pine frame. Real wood in Black, White, Natural Wood or Dark Wood.
- Shatterproof plexiglass front. Lighter than glass to hang, and it does not shatter in transit or on a busy wall.
- 200gsm matte fine-art paper with archival-quality inks. Matte was selected for this design so the dark background stays velvety with no glare.
- Sizes from 5x7" to 28x40", plus A3, A2 and A1. Small enough for a kitchen shelf, big enough for above a sideboard.
- Free shipping available. Produced close to you and delivered ready to hang.
- Certificate of Authenticity, a 30-Day Money-Back Guarantee, and a Lifetime Quality Guarantee that covers how the piece was made for as long as you own it.
What You Will Notice First
- The candle. One tall flame at the right lights the pumpkins, the pears and the cloth, and the brass candlestick catches it too.
- The pale pumpkin. Cream, ribbed, with a long curled stem, the biggest and brightest thing on the table.
- The moth. Small and white, resting on the cloth near the front. It is the one Halloween note, and you find it second.
- Warm light against a dark ground. The fruit and the linen glow gold while the wall behind them stays deep brown, the way the old still lifes were lit.
- Visible brushwork. Soft edges and glazed shadows give it the look of a painting rather than a photograph.
How the Still Life Feels in the Room
Above a sideboard or a dining table at 24x36" in a dark wood frame, it looks as if it has always been there. On a kitchen wall or in a breakfast nook at 16x20" it is the piece that makes the room feel finished. On the fall mantel at 18x24" it anchors the real pumpkins and candles below it. In a hallway at 11x14" it is a small, warm window. When the lamps come on in the evening, the painted candle seems to glow along with them.

We don't keep warehouses of unsold prints; every piece is created because someone chose it, with no overproduction and no waste heading to landfill.

Autumn Still Life FAQs
Is this a real painting?
It is an original painting-style design by our team, printed on matte fine-art paper. It is not an original oil on canvas, and it is not a copy of a museum piece.
Does it come ready to hang?
Yes. The framed version arrives behind shatterproof plexiglass with the hanging hardware fitted. Choose the unframed print if you already have a frame.
Is it Halloween decor or fall decor?
Both, and it outlasts each. The moth and the shadows carry October, the pumpkins and pears carry Thanksgiving, and the painting carries the rest of the year in a kitchen or dining room.
Will it be too dark for my kitchen?
The background is deep brown on purpose, and the pumpkins, pears and cloth glow against it. On a pale wall that contrast is the classic look of a still life. Choose the black or white frame to keep the edge crisp.
What size should I get?
Match it to the furniture below it. Above a sideboard or dining table, 24x36". On a kitchen wall, 16x20" or 18x24". On a mantel, 18x24". On a shelf, 8x10".
Which frame colour suits it?
Black is our pick because it holds the dark table. Dark Wood suits a dining room or a study, Natural Wood a cottage or farmhouse kitchen, and White a light, modern kitchen.
Does it make a good hostess gift?
Yes. For a Thanksgiving host or a Halloween dinner, 16x20" fits almost any wall, and it arrives framed and ready to hang with a Certificate of Authenticity in the box.
How fast will my order arrive?
Processing takes 1 to 4 days, and 90% of orders arrive within 5 days after that. Your print is made at whichever of our 140+ facilities is closest to your address, so it spends less time in transit.
What if it does not suit my space?
You have thirty days to return it for a refund. After that the piece still carries our Lifetime Quality Guarantee: if it ever fails on us, message us with a photo and we replace it free. You just cover shipping.
