Scanlon Apparati Octagonal Frame, Blue with Flowers and Oysters

This hanging frame by Scanlon Apparati is made from hand-cut bookbinder’s board covered in Italian patterned paper, finished with a sculptural paper bow for hanging and a moiré-lined back. Decorated with Flowers and Oysters motifs in the manner of eighteenth-century découpage, it reflects Beth Scanlon’s love of European craft traditions while expressing her distinctly American style, precise, modern and bright. The result is a romantic and highly decorative object.
