There is a certain kind of beauty that refuses to whisper. It unfurls, it dazzles, it claims the room. This French crystal dome captures that spirit—a royal blue peacock in full, resplendent plume, its feathers blooming outward like a garden of eyes and iridescent secrets.
Adapted from a 19th-century illustration in Ben’s personal archive, the artwork glows beneath hand-polished French crystal, magnifying every jewel-toned detail with luminous depth. Each dome is handcrafted in our New York City studio using Ben’s signature decoupage technique, a marriage of Old World craft and modern imagination.
The result is a small but commanding object, equally at home on a writing desk, bedside table, or tucked into a library of cherished things. Felted on the underside to rest softly, and accompanied by a card sharing the découpage tradition, it is a quiet luxury meant to be kept close.
A touch of wonder. A reminder to look for beauty that refuses to hide.

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.
