Trompe L'oeil Screen or Room Divider in the Manner of Piero Fornasetti

About the Item

A fantastic, one-sided, hand painted screen after Piero Fornasetti. A wonderfully surreal, architectural, Escher-esque stair and ladder motif; an of-the-period replica of a portion of the largest Fornasetti screen ever made, "La Stanza Metafisica". Impressive execution and construction. An unexpected decorative element. Each panel measures 17 inches.

  • JENNY Large Wall Light or Sconce in Enamel & Brass by Blueprint Lighting
    By Blueprint Lighting, Mathieu Matégot, Stilnovo
    Located in New York, NY
    Introducing Jenny, the latest vintage-inspired fixture from Blueprint Lighting. Named for multi-hyphenate Jenny Mollen; NYT best-selling author, actress, design enthusiast, mom of 2 and wife of actor Jason Biggs. From our Chief Luminary, Kelly Aaron: "I have been working closely with Jenny off and on for the past year while she gives her NYC apartment a facelift--it's been so fun! She and I share a love of 1950s French design, which is obviously a hallmark of the Blueprint aesthetic. One day Jenny texted a pic of a single vintage mid-century French wall sconce she loved and asked if Blueprint could make it for her. Funny enough--I, too, had seen that same sconce the day before and already had my Creative Director/Husband figuring out how to fabricate it. How great is that?! It was meant to be!" The Jenny sconce...
