A Tuxedo Cat and a White Kitten on a Green Sofa by Carl Kahler (c.1890) captures the exact kind of domestic drama only cats can stage. The tuxedo sits composed and worldly, while the white kitten hisses from the arm of the sofa - small, furious, and thoroughly unimpressed. Kahler had a reputation for painting cats as if they were aristocrats, and here he gives us the full social hierarchy in fur and attitude.

This miniature oil painting reproduction is printed on archival canvas and paired with a handcrafted frame cast in Hydrostone plaster, using a mold from a 19th-century antique. Finished in-studio to capture the texture and patina of a real antique frame, it offers all the beauty of an heirloom – without having to inherit it. Available in aged gold or classic black, and paired with a small matching cat medallion for wall display, completing the whimsical feline ensemble.

Sized in our Mini format, this piece fits perfectly on a shelf, gallery wall any small space that deserves something with character and a bit of attitude. It arrives in a custom gift box that includes a removable art card from my curated collection of early 20th-century Swiss lithographed trading cards. On the back: a short message tied to the image - something between a fortune and a pep talk from the ghosts of a Swiss art collective. They’re collectible, slightly mysterious, and full of charm. Designs vary and yours will be chosen at random unless you request a specific one. See the last photo for the full collection. Inside the box, you’ll find a picture pin and an artist card with all the painting’s details.

The cat medallion comes directly from an antique tray, reproduced in full detail and reshaped into a thicker, more architectural form. It once collected small, important things on a tabletop. Now it lives on the wall, though it can still return to its original role when the need arises.
