Artist Spotlight: Carol Leskanic

Gilded Catalina Goat Trophy
16.75" x 19.5" x 19.25"
$7,500.00











The mount has been water gilded in white gold.  Artist Carol Leskanic, a true Master of her trade, applies this ancient technique to many unexpected objects.  She then treats the gilded surfaces with a patina for a rich, deep and consummately modern esthetic. Her process is traditional, but the results are ethereal.  We have several of her unique pieces throughout the gallery.

Modern Served With Tradition

Openweave Faux Leather Trays
16" x 11" $100.00
18" x 14" $125.00









These trays make quite a statement, I have always been a fan of French West Indian design and these trays are just that.  The dark, sustainable wood and faux leather make it an eco-friendly alternative to your more traditional leather trays.  The notion of bringing nature indoors paired with an artisan crafted feel make these trays a casual but sophisticated serving device.

Your Modern Mason Jar

Handmade Feathered Glassware
by Pean Doubulyu 
Pitcher  $195.00
Glasses  $48.00 each










As soon as this set came out of the stockroom I fell in love!  Each piece is hand blown giving a unique and individual nature to each piece.  The irregular edges and varied sizes of the glasses evoke a real sense of craftsmanship and not your run of the mill cookie cutter pressed glass vessel.  With all of that said what really sold me on these pieces is the pattern, a slight "feathered" ribbing that give a delicate quality to each piece.  Yet substantial enough for a gentleman guest.  Each piece is signed and is a must have in your collection!
