A utilitarian object transformed into Pop Art. A well-used, obviously very handy working oversized bulldog clip. A really unique object for creative display but also in it’s own right has the presence of a Readymade.

As soon as we brought this screen into the shop yesterday it transformed the space. A woven reproduction of artist Marchetti’s late 18th Century interior scene has an air of grandeur and the scale alone adds drama to a space. Very theatrical.

MONKEY MAGIC
Meet our new friend. He’s a Victorian preserved monkey dressed in a pink silk jacket. A much loved former show monkey. There was a fascination with monkeys, especially dressed as humans at this point in history (Monkeyana). This was post Darwin’s theory of evolution and it was a popular topic of debate as to our relationship to the primate. Monkey nuts!
