Yesterday I stopped in an antique store here in Dallas and found
this little booth with this gold architectural fragment
attached to a clear lucite base.
The price is $345.00
They are gorgeous and expensive.
I wished I had my camera with me,
but I only had my iphone.
They appear to be a wood or a wood composite.
Below is a lamp made of a wooden urn placed on a lucite base.
Notice the bust on the lower left side.
Here is another putti that is the opposite of the one above.
I love the juxtaposition of the old world wood carved putti
placed upon a modern day lucite base.
These would work well in a traditionally decorated home
or in a modern home.
Now, if I only had $345.00
So, I am wondering if I had the materials
if I could make these myself?
I love these! I do think you could replicate this look. I would start with a doll body and apply layers and layers of papier mache. I am looking forward to what you create.
ReplyDeleteThose are adorable!!! A bit price for me. I'll be anxious to see if you come up with your own! So glad you enjoyed our bluebirds! It's been such a treat having them in the yard!

Love the look! I have some glass risers I bought from Wisteria.com that I've used to elevate some items with.
ReplyDeleteThat would be a window shop item for me too! I am hard pressed to spend $345.00 on anything! I am a very fickle decorator, I need cheap items that I don't feel bad about tucking away for a bit. I am interested to see what your "Hmmm" turns into though...
ReplyDeleteAaaahhh, these are absolutely gorgeous! But I can understand the price point since just the thick lucite slab alone costs so much already! If you DIY it Patty, I would be so blwon-away for sure, go for it!
ReplyDeletePatty, The price is a little steep for me but I think these could be a DIY. You can buy a Lucite base and rod at a lamp shop and make your own.
