✷ ARTWORK
The Drawing Room (c.1900) by Sir James Jebusa Shannon
This one’s unusual for Shannon - not a society portrait or a romanticized allegory, but a quiet little window into his actual home life. That’s his daughter Kitty (in profile), reading with a friend, in what was probably the quietest corner of their drawing room. And in the back, his wife Florence is doing something mysterious with a vase of flowers, as one does. This is the kind of domestic scene you don’t usually get from a painter like Shannon - who, let’s not forget, had a Holland Park address and a two-door setup: one for the studio, one for the family. This is from behind the second door.
✷ HANDCRAFTED DETAILS
Built by hand from start to finish, using archival canvas and a plaster relief frame cast from a mold of a rare antique original. It carries a bit of that old-world studio energy, the kind that doesn’t try too hard but still manages to shift the mood of a space just by being there.
• Archival canvas print with satin varnish (museum-quality, fade-resistant).
• Plaster relief frame, hand-poured and finished in a vintage patina. Cast from a rare antique original and unique to this studio.
• Made with Hydrostone plaster, a mineral-based material rather than petroleum-based resin. It’s biodegradable and doesn’t stick around like plastic.
• Two finishes available:
Aged gold with a real metal finish applied in the mold for a warm, heirloom feel. Finished with hand-buffed antique wax for a museum-quality low luster.
Classic black with pigment mixed directly into the plaster for a deep, matte look that won’t chip or flake.
• At 1.6 lbs, it has a satisfying bit of weight to it and feels solid rather than delicate, with pre-installed hanging hardware so it’s easy to hang.
✷ THOUGHTFUL EXTRAS
Custom gift box with:
• A removable Swiss lithograph art card (early 20th-century, collectible designs. Yours will be chosen at random unless you request a specific one!).
• A picture pin and artist card with painting details.
• Small Ornate or Mini Cove frame option available—just message me!
✷ PERFECT FOR:
• anyone who’s ever adjusted a vase mid-conversation because the symmetry was bothering them
• introverts who decorate like extroverts
• the friend who always has a novel, a tote bag, and a deeply suppressed opinion about wallpaper
• people who alphabetize their book shelves but live in chaos everywhere else
