Old Man 2 decoupage print brings an adventurous, old-world explorer character to furniture restoration, built for decoupage artists who love weathered texture and storytelling detail. A rugged old man in a battered leather hat draws on his pipe, his pale eyes fixed thoughtfully on the distance, a brass lantern burning softly at his side. Behind him, a vintage map, a brass compass and a glowing acacia-tree sunset layer together over aged, torn-paper texture, giving the whole scene the feel of a well-travelled journal page.

Why You’ll Love It

Every Old Man 2 decoupage print sheet is built to feel like a scene from an explorer’s journal rather than a flat portrait – the glowing lantern, drifting pipe smoke and sunset-lit acacia tree all add warmth and narrative depth. It works beautifully as a single statement panel or paired with its companion Old Man 1 design for a matching set of rustic character pieces. Side by side, the two portraits share enough palette and texture to read as a deliberate set without being identical, which makes them a popular choice for a pair of sideboard doors, matching trunk lids, or two framed panels flanking a fireplace or bar.

Size & Application Tips

• Supplied print-ready at A4 size for immediate use
• Trim close to the design edges for a seamless, borderless finish on furniture
• Apply with a standard decoupage medium or glue, then seal with varnish once fully dry
• For raised or textured surfaces, tear the paper edges slightly before gluing to help it settle into contours
• Works equally well under a satin or gloss topcoat, depending on the sheen you want on the finished piece

FAQ

What size is the Old Man 2 decoupage print?

It is supplied as a full A4 sheet, sized to cover drawer fronts, cabinet panels and similarly scaled furniture surfaces in one piece.

Does it pair with other designs in the range?

Yes – it shares its weathered palette and character styling with the Old Man 1 decoupage print, so the two work well together as a matching rustic pair.

Will the colours fade over time?

Printed with fade-resistant inks and sealed under varnish, the sienna and brass tones hold their warmth well indoors, away from direct, constant sunlight.
