Giraffe Portrait on Easel
This small, crackled panel reimagines Agasse’s Girafe de Nubie with a pleasingly off‑kilter charm. Artists begin by reproducing the original painting through transfer before taking it somewhere altogether more atmospheric: every dent, crackled contour and layer of patina is applied entirely by hand. Rusty nail marks, soft humidity traces, discreet stamps and a knowingly timeworn finish create a piece that feels as if it has stepped sideways out of its own century. It is supplied on a beautiful wooden, adjustable stand fitted with hand‑turned knobs.

The makers
Sourced by PHINA
Every year, we set off in search of the unexpected: hidden gems, antiques, curious objet, original art, and furniture with a story to tell.
Our approach is slow, considered and instinctive. We source responsibly, choosing pieces for their craftsmanship, quality and ability to make you look twice. We like to meet the makers and sellers along the way, getting to know the people, provenance and stories behind our finds.
The pieces that return from our trip with us often show signs of a life well lived. It is this patina, shaped by time and use, that gives each piece its character.
