Wall Decor: Timeless Technique
Tracy Bulla -- Home Accents Today, 2/1/2007
Classic wall decor selections cull from timeless, and timely, inspirations to create a fresh take on traditional. Reproductions of antique documents and paintings, plus decorative or functional objects, lend a sense of wit and savvy to wall art.
Gallery Gallery splices a hand-colored reproduction map (circa 1780) and mounts it on canvas, putting a fun twist on tradition ($900).
Old World grace is the dominant theme in Annie James' antiqued canvas reproduction giclee ($100).
A series of gradated vases and pedestals present a classically elegant perspective on wall art from Global Views.
Designed by Mark Abrams for Oriental Accent, the three-panel wall hanging features classic coromandel styling with ebony finish and gilded floral relief ($450 to $495).
