Neo Egyptian Two Tone Solid Mahogany & Rosewood Picture / Mirror Frames

About the Item

Two (of four) designed and handmade frames by Dana Nicholson at Altura Studio in New York. Solid Mahogany and rosewood assembled in a heavy torsion box method. Custom cast brass fittings for hanging and for supporting the removable mahogany art backing. Designed for ease of changing artwork. Fittings adapt to various artwork thicknesses. The frames are imposing and impressive but lend an unexpected support to art work and especially photography. The proportions are based on Egyptian temple pylon dimensions and completed with torus moldings and a Cavetto Cornice. The dental molding is an adaptation from later Greek and Roman cornices. The two end dentals are drilled to receive custom horizonal terrets and or silk cord with tassels for an opulent celebratory finish.

  • Blackened Bronze & Blue/Black Lacquered "Behepoda" Art Piece Cocktail Table
    By Dana Nicholson
    Located in New York, NY
    The table was in part influenced by Armand Albert Rateau and Eileen Gray. Their influence is evident in this complex piece of many art processes. Sketched while listening to Bjork’s song “Bachelorette”, (which has absolutely nothing to do with the show or dating), the table is dark and pays homage to the cephalopods of the deep and the corals near the surface, while octopus’ suckers or coral polyps break the surface. Comprised of custom cast and blacken bronze of great weight supporting an ultra-thin and hollow surface of a moonlit blue...

  • Bronze Sculpture Table Top Book "Eyas" Lectern or Book Stand, Batman Memorabilia
    By Dana Nicholson
    Located in New York, NY
    Inspired by the clever fox and the fascinating bat, the cast bronze lectern sculpture is one of three such designs by designer/artist Dana Nicholson. Sculpturally it stands on its own but it also elegantly supports art books or small drawings and paintings. It is one of a kind. The wings fold out for larger works. Treated with a rich tobacco brown patina and buffed with wax for an authentic, and historical bronze finish. Silver leaf has been applied to the raised portion of the body plate to accentuate the Celtic like design pattern. A perfect understory for that rare collector batman comic...
