‘Bellweather’ Derby Day Thoroughbred Decoupage Tray 12 x 20 inches

A thrum of hooves, a flash of bay muscle, the scent of mint and saddle soap: this handsome thoroughbred trots straight off a vintage sporting plate and onto your table. It is Derby Day in miniature, a poised champion, all gleam and grit, kept beneath crystal glass like a keepsake from the paddock. Handcrafted in New York in the French tradition of découpage, the artwork is laid in reverse beneath crystal glass, then sealed and burnished until every fine line and glossy coat comes alive. The gently curved glass form catches the light, the image feels freshly inked. The surface wipes clean and is food safe for small bites, the back is felted so it lands softly on marble or wood.
