Some stories need more room.
The 9" x 14" letters tray gives a full invitation, treasured correspondence, large photograph, or layered arrangement of keepsakes the space to be seen and remembered.
Each tray is handcrafted in Ben's New York studio using the centuries-old art of decoupage, then shaped by hand, signed by Ben, backed in soft felt, and sealed beneath a durable food-safe surface.
Made to order for your story alone, it is a true one-of-a-kind heirloom.
Style #: DPC-914
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.
Beautifully done
