The Witan, the great council of Anglo-Saxon England, gathered the kingdom's most powerful men to advise the king, settle disputes, and shape the nation's fate. This framed canvas captures that hushed authority: warm painterly browns, candlelit highlights, and figures bent in quiet strategy across the great hall floor. The FSC-certified pinewood frame finishes the piece cleanly — available in Black, Espresso, Natural, or White to suit the room. Hung above a mantel or in a study, it arrives ready to display and anchors a space with the weight of real history.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eProduct features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFramed matte canvas — 18″ × 12″ horizontal format, 1.25″ canvas depth, 1.75″ frame depth\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCotton-polyester canvas composite with proprietary coating for vivid, long-lasting colour\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFSC-certified pinewood frame — sustainably sourced and eco-friendly\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAvailable in 4 frame colours: Black, Espresso, Natural, White\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSawtooth hanging hardware included — arrives ready to hang\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProduction tolerance ±1\/8″\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSize guide\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003cthead\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"padding: 10px;\"\u003eSpecification\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"padding: 10px; font-weight: 500;\"\u003e18″ × 12″ (Horizontal)\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/thead\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 10px; border-top: 1px solid #ededed;\"\u003eCanvas width, in\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 10px; border-top: 1px solid #ededed;\"\u003e18.00\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 10px; border-top: 1px solid #ededed;\"\u003eCanvas height, in\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 10px; border-top: 1px solid #ededed;\"\u003e12.00\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 10px; border-top: 1px solid #ededed;\"\u003eCanvas depth, in\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 10px; border-top: 1px solid #ededed;\"\u003e1.25\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 10px; border-top: 1px solid #ededed;\"\u003eFrame depth, in\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 10px; border-top: 1px solid #ededed;\"\u003e1.75\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCare instructions\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDust gently with a clean, dry or lightly damp cloth\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDo not use abrasive cleaners or solvents\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKeep out of direct prolonged sunlight to preserve print longevity\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFrequently asked questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is the Witan?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Witan — short for Witenagemot, meaning \"meeting of wise men\" — was the royal council of Anglo-Saxon England.
