A dash of woodland charm for your table or shelf- the Squirrel Round Decoupage Tray is handcrafted in our New York Studio in the time-honored French découpage tradition. This curious little squirrel perched on a branch captures Ben’s signature knack for the playful and unexpected.
Individually signed by Ben, each bent-glass tray is food safe, easy to wipe clean, and finished with a soft felt back to protect your surfaces in style. Perfect for catching keys in an entryway, serving cocktails with a wink, or displayed on a gallery easel for an extra touch of nature’s whimsy.
A folded card sharing the story behind the découpage technique completes this collectible piece- a delightful reminder that even the smallest details can make a space feel extraordinary.
Style#: DPI-R-4813
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.
