The Dandy - Art under a dome

The Dandy is one of those pieces that reveals itself in stages. At first, you notice the butterflies, bright and full of movement.  Then, as your eyes settle, the portrait appears within them. That shift is the whole idea behind anamorphosis: an old art technique where an image is cleverly hidden inside another, only becoming clear from the right viewpoint.

Dimensions: Height: 41 cm, width: 33 cm, depth: 18 cm

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.
