The wildest things turn up when least expected. Science has
yet to perfect a simliar formula for love or real estate‚ giving
those in modern society the distinct classification of either
hunter or sulker. This remarkable copper crown was discovered
at Talisman‚ London’s chic emporium of marvelously eclectic
treasures with a desirable new Belgravia address. The Danish
piece‚ circa early 19th century‚ may have been a fixture
proudly announcing a royal building. As a decorative element
and one-of-a-kind ornament‚ it is a majestic reminder that you
got there first. To inquire‚ 190-192 Ebury Street‚ London + 44 (0)

Where so many well-intended tributes suffer is overconfidence:
flaunting a recondite knowledge of the work‚ then systemically
ruining it with a showy first-person twist. Guns n’ Roses covers
have endured this for years. The Ponti design from the fantastic
wallpaper studio Fromental reveals true artistry. Not simply a
reflexive exercise—channeling the Italian master’s ouvre like
an obedient echo—founders Tim Butcher and Lizzie Deshayes
possess a deeper awareness of how to sculpt the essence of
Gio Ponti’s work without betraying their own instincts. Silk is
rendered by hand with metallic marbleized washes meant
to mimic travertine. Pieces are then inter-cut into dramatic‚
large-sized geometrics‚ like warm reverberations of Ponti’s
Plancharts design in Caracas. The paper’s indulgence is an
alluring manifestation of tactility and imagination‚ where
the wall is excused from the background and exalted
in the spotlight. To inquire‚ 212 759 7888 fromental.co.uk
