Framed print by Roy Lichtenstein created for the New York Museum of Modern Art in 1989. This original poster titled “Drowning Girl” was inspired by a DC Comic and shows a girl drowning in water and emotion. The speech bubble reads “I don’t care! I’d rather sink than call Brad for help!” The work by Lichtenstein shows his prowess at hand-painting pop art pieces that imitate the mechanical printing process and showcase his consideration of the comic style. A renowned artist of the time, his work can be found internationally in museums such as the MoMA. This is an original vintage poster.

The 1960s Murano Glass Floor Lamp by Ettore Fantasia and Gino Poli for Sothis is a vintage lighting piece known for its exquisite Murano glass craftsmanship.

A subtle twist on a timeless classic, this Louis Philippe mirror has four rounded corners, whereas the traditional Louis Philippe only has rounded upper corners. Also of note, the mirror has several layers of alternating cavetto and quarter-round moldings, but no additional ornamentation. Louis Philippe mirrors are known for their subtle embellishments, which are generally carved into the most prominent molding. The giltwood frame has a lustrous gold color with some areas of mottled patina that is accentuated by the slight loss of silvering to the glass, giving the mirror added character. Our giltwood Louis Philippe mirror was hand-carved in France, circa 1850, and would be a fantastic addition to any wall of the house. It can be paired with any style of interior design from ancien regime to contemporary.
