A crown is a promise. It tells the world something matters.
This striking vintage crown — lifted from a centuries-old European heraldic study — carries the quiet authority of history. Spires rise like cathedral towers, fleur-de-lis details catch the light, and the burnished gold seems to glow against parchment-toned paper. It feels regal without arrogance. A reminder that beauty and power have always lived in craftsmanship.
Handcrafted in our New York City studio using centuries-old French découpage techniques, each image is carefully layered by hand beneath luminous glass and fired into permanence. The surface is food safe and easily wiped clean, while a protective felt backing allows it to rest gracefully on wood, marble, or linen.
Equally compelling as a serving tray or displayed upright on a gallery easel, it brings a sense of ceremony wherever it lands — a bar cart, a writing desk, a library shelf. Each piece is individually signed by Ben and arrives with a folded card detailing the time-honored process behind its making.
Because sometimes the smallest object in a room should still feel like royalty.

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.
