There is something arresting about a single word pulled from the past, set in the kind of crisp serif type once found in antique books and weathered manuscripts. Courage was printed boldly then, as if the very letterforms needed to fortify the reader. And here, preserved beneath hand-cut French glass, the word feels even more vital, more necessary, more now.
Handcrafted in our New York atelier using the French tradition of decoupage, each tray carries the subtle quirks and eccentricities of true vintage typography: the softened serif, the imperfect ink impression, the quiet gravity of old-world print. These human details are what make antique lettering sing with character, a reminder that even a single word can hold extraordinary weight.
Signed individually by Ben, food-safe, wipe-clean, and backed in felt, the piece is both practical and poetic. Display it on a desk, a vanity, or on a gallery easel—anywhere a steady reminder belongs.
And because courage takes so many forms, this makes a thoughtful gift for a bold performance, a hard-won achievement, or someone navigating their own quieter battles. A small but powerful emblem of strength, borrowed from the past to steady us in the present.
