Two crimson hearts, lifted from an antique love token, stand like a vow—simple, sincere, and impossible to ignore. We found the motif on an 18th-century postcard once slipped into a pocket and carried close to the chest; now it glows under glass, a small altar to affection.
Made by hand in our New York studio, the artwork is laid in reverse in the French découpage tradition so the image blooms through crystal with depth and light. The bent-glass surface is smooth to the touch, the back is felted, and the finish is food-safe and wipe-clean—equally at home catching rings on a nightstand, corralling olives at aperitif, or standing on a gallery easel. Each piece is individually signed by Ben and arrives with a card explaining the time-honored process.
A pair of hearts for your true love, for weddings and anniversaries, for anyone who believes in the old magic of paper and promise.

The French call it découpage, pronounced day-coo-pahzh. It flourished in the salons of 18th-century France, where paper, patience, and a steady hand turned everyday objects into works of art.
Ben honors the French technique, in reverse. The artwork goes on the underside of the glass, by hand, so you look through the glass to see it. Nothing sits on the surface. The image seems to float, lit from within, the way a pressed flower looks when you hold it up to a window.
Every design starts with something Ben discovered or created. A pattern he drew. A botanical plate or a scrap of antique paper carried home from a market in Europe, chosen because it meant something.
Decoupage is a science of perfection. Each piece is made slowly in our New York studios by a talented team of artists, patient and exacting, who will not settle for less than a perfect result. Each one is backed in felt, so it can rest safely on a cocktail table, and signed by the artist, Ben Busko.
Each tray is decoupaged by hand beneath the glass. A little care keeps the artwork beautiful.
Suitable for hanging with a plate hanger or standing on a gallery easel.
