Follow on Google News | Furniture is the Canvas for Fine Art Designers Debut Home Décor CollectionA series of entertaining and whimsical hand-painted, hand-carved works of art by Bali based American designer Mary Justice
Beautifully illustrated and hand-painted using self-created watercolours, each piece takes up to four weeks to complete by Master Artists and Craftsmen. No machinery is ever used in these hand perfected pieces, making them genuinely unique with only 15 of each themed series produced. The entire process from inception to completion is very organic with MJ's ideas hand-drawn and water-coloured by an in-house artist. The original drawings are then carefully painted by Master Indonesian artists onto gessoed wood, a Renaissance technique from the 16th century. With five themes in the decorative range: 'Panthera'; 'Certainly Simian'; 'Flights of Fancy'; 'Flora' and 'Deep Ocean' you will find mahogany oval tilt top trays of natural jungle scenes graced by an endangered Clouded Leopard [Panthera series] or a vibrant show of lionfish and sea snakes in a coral habitat in the [Deep Ocean]. The ingenious craftsmanship of the designs allows for the Oval Trays to be removable from the stand to reveal a hidden and superbly crafted occasional table. When not used as entertaining or service pieces, the tilt-top function allows the parts to be fashioned into upright displays of artworks. Teak Folding Butler Tables and interchangeable Nesting Trays in the Certainly Simian range show White-Handed Lars gibbons at play at sunset tossing fruits of mangosteen to each other. The interchangeable pieces can be collected as an entire set or be acquired as individual items. In the Flora range, the teak 'faux bamboo' folding tables and nesting trays depict the famed nutmeg and butterflies of the Spice Islands heralding Indonesia's Independence from the Spice Wars. This range comes with a purpose-designed base to display or store the fascinating collection when not in use. Lastly, a centrepiece to any dining experience is the table top Lazy Susan which features the beautiful Bird of Paradise in a mating dance at sunrise in the Flights of Fancy piece. Pieces in the 15/1 Limited Edition Series start from USD 700. Each piece is signed by the Artists and features a brass plaque engraved with its unique series number. www.maryjusticedesigns.com End
