Nautilus on Stand
One of the most majestic of shells. Drop-dead gorgeous. A creature that buoyantly floats in the world’s oceans, and builds a shell that has become a symbol for beauty and symmetry. Nautilus shells were rare, and when found centuries ago were mounted on extravagant bases and used as gifts of state, rarities collected by royals, as well as to serve highly ceremonial drinks. The perfection of the curving lines of its multi-chambered spiral is known to all. Decadent and still extremely beautiful, what better combination? Our classic hand turned and carved spiral mahogany stand complements an object that was worth a fortune only a few hundred years ago.

Artist Models
Art is forever, life is short is the Latin expression. This from an age when art was considered a learned craft for the talented. When ateliers were filled with articulated art models and plaster casts of classic sculpture. When masters had apprentices finish the lesser details of now famous paintings. Finesse and expertise were pre-eminent goals. Both our art and our artist models closely match the style and content of ages past.

Michelangelo had several models made of the St. Peter dome during the time he worked on it.
Discovered in an attic and newly restored, these models are now a main attraction at the Vatican Museum. Architects over the centuries have made models to check details in 3D and help clients understand dimensional perspectives. Many architects of renown also collected models, not only for their exquisite workmanship but also for their value as décor in homes and especially offices.
Here is a small but no less fascinating collection of early stair models and dome buildings.
Cherry and birch wood finished in subtle shades of light and dark honey. Sinuous curves and arches in beautifully finished wood add a fluid touch to private or corporate quarters.
