The John Derian Bookcase Wall Tray features a vintage illustration of a glass-front barrister bookcase reproduced under handblown glass. Its decoupage construction showcases mid-19th century Scottish artwork from The Instructive Picture Book, while the handblown glass surface provides durability and visual appeal. The tray serves as both decorative wall art and functional catchall dish, with its shallow profile making it suitable for organizing small items. W23 x D36 x H1 cm.
<p>Filled with old-school charm, our Bookcase Wall Tray features a vintage illustration of a handsome glass-front barrister bookcase, with empty shelves that stand at-the-ready for some imaginary collection of tomes. Sourced from our friend John Derian’s expansive collection of antique drawings and calligraphy, this image originally comes from The Instructive Picture Book — a mid-19th century Scottish book filled with curious illustrations of everything from flora and fauna to architecture, furnishings and everyday household items. Now, this found page has been reproduced under handblown glass by trained artisans in the celebrated designer’s NYC studio, resulting in a decoupaged dish with a nod to classic design. A clever gift for decorators and bibliophiles alike, our Bookcase Wall Tray also makes a great catchall dish in a home office or library. We also love it paired with a plate hanger and mixed in with artwork and John Derian pieces for an eclectic gallery wall. </p> <p> </p> <p>•handblown decoupage <br>•vintage image <br>•handblown glass<br>•john derian</p> <p> </p> <p>Dimensions<br><span>•9"W x 14"D x .5"H</span><br></p>
