Architectural Fragments on Lucite

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?

  1. 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.

  3. Love the look! I have some glass risers I bought from Wisteria.com that I've used to elevate some items with.

  4. That 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...

  5. Aaaahhh, 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!

  6. Patty, 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.

  9. I really have no familiarity with this new version dior replica of the Guardians except an episode of the new Avengers animated show. Wow, alot of comic fans like to think their favorites are a higher class of entertainment than other forms, and gucci replica occasionally some are. But reading over this info reminds me of the convoluted and bizarre plots of your typical soap opera. You don't think about it while you're in the rolex replica midst of readng your favorite comics so this was kind of a funny shock reading the long, long, long, dramas of their lives. It's like reality TV on steroids but with better costumes and energy beams and people gucci replica getting punched through walls.
