This is an impressive piece and makes a real statement hanging on the wall. I took a tip from another reviewer and mounted a  Display ledge underneath, making something of a shelf/windowsill. It looks great with small pots of artificial succulents.  This is easily mounted and, despite its size, is not in ordinately heavy. A word of caution-this is a very distressed piece,  with antique ivory as the base color.   If the distressed look is not for you or would not be consistent with your decor, this is a piece you should probably avoid. However, it is beautiful and come in the right setting, makes an imposing statement.
