A wreath of winter green and holly berries, tied with a crimson ribbon and a whisper of Paris. Our Joyeux Noël tray feels like the moment the door opens to candlelight and carols, a little ceremony of welcome preserved under glass.
In our New York studio we practice the French ritual of decoupage. Ben painted the artwork, we lay it in reverse beneath the glass, seal with hand-brushed varnish, then gently bend the pane so the light skims every leaf. The surface wipes clean, the back is felted, the piece is food safe, and Ben signs each one before it leaves the bench.
Style it on a bar cart with Champagne and clementines, keep it by the entry for keys and tiny notes to Saint Nick, or stand it upright like a jewel of the mantel. A folded card shares the time-honored process. A bright keepsake for the season, meant to be used, admired, and kept.

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.
