“We’ve just finished the living room with a few pieces from Moncasso.”
Moncasso began the way most good ideas do: with a shared obsession neither of us could quite shake.
We're Rick and Anthony, the co-founders of Moncasso. Long before this became a business, it was a habit. Wandering museums for hours, standing in front of paintings hundreds of years old, taking in the richness of the colour, the depth built up in layers, the sheer detail that only reveals itself the longer you look. We kept coming back to the same thought, "why doesn't art like this exist for the home?"
So we started picking the elements we loved most from those paintings, the boldness, the atmosphere, the depth, and reimagining them for a modern room. Not a copy of the past, but the same feeling; rich, considered, a little maximalist, the kind of piece that makes a space feel finished rather than furnished.
It started with an idea in 2019 from a small room in Manchester, UK. Our goal was to make it easy for anyone to finish or style their space like an interior designer, without ever needing to hire one. That idea ultimately became Moncasso.
Today, Moncasso has styled over 30,000 homes worldwide, shipping to customers across more than 24 countries including the UK, USA, Australia, and mainland Europe. We've grown to become one of the leading premium canvas art brands in the UK, EU, and USA, backed by over 3,500 verified customer reviews, but the instinct behind it hasn't changed. We'd still rather take the time to get a piece right than rush it out the door, and we still care about every order the way we'd want our own home treated.
We curate our designs from many different places, such as by working independent artists we commission directly, or with creative teams then produce each as a museum-quality giclée print at Fine Art Trade Guild approved print studios, and colour-profiled to stay consistent wherever in the world it's made. You can read more about the artists we work with on our Artists page, and more about our materials and production standards on our Sustainability page.
We're proud to say Moncasso has been featured in Vogue, Vanity Fair, and House & Garden, and our Pink Flamingo Print was selected editorially by YourHome Magazine for a homes styling feature.
Our customers are people who care about their homes, who understand that art isn't just decoration, but something that changes how a room feels every day. You can see how our pieces look and read what they have to say on our Customer Reviews page. Whether it becomes the quiet focal point in a bedroom or the statement piece in a living space, our goal has never changed; to create artwork worth living with for years to come.
This is what drives everything we do.
Warmest regards,
Rick and Anthony
Moncasso Co-founders
