THE decorative COLLECTION
A series of unique designs, hand-crafted in scagliola and intended for beautiful interiors.
Obelisk I.
Scagliola.
140x28x28cm
Our first obelisk is typical of the conventional type, with the weight of the shaft suspended on four spheres. Its message intimates something ancient and eternal, about the interface between the permanent and the ephemeral.
SO001
Obelisk II.
Scagliola.
140x28x28cm
The second obelisk is a development of the idea behind the first. Denoting permanence and longevity, this piece implies eternity, without omitting to reflect that this sentiment also rests on something as fragile and transient as a crab's shell.
SO002
Mirrors I & II.
Scagliola.
72x6cm
Exquisite, hand-crafted mirrors that were executed in strict adherence to the principles and techniques of the revived scagliola tradition. The design is based on a conventional laurel motif found in ancient Greek and Roman architecture.
SM001 / SM002
breccia di atopia.
Scagliola.
99x48.5x6cm
During the process of refining our scagliola technique, we developed a house breccia to test the limits of the medium. The richness of the result goes some way to show the inimitable craftsmanship at the heart of Four Crowns.
SP004
Lumachellone I.
Scagliola.
99x48.5x6cm
Our second decorative panel mirrors a particularly rare marble called Lumachellone. It was admired in classical Rome for its richness and complexity, with fossil shells embedded in a grey-brown matrix.
SP004
Lumachellone II & III.
Scagliola.
58x28x6cm
Two reduced versions of Lumachellone I.
SP010
Ichnosaur I.
Scagliola.
48x36x8cm
A fictional fossil study inspired by our enduring fascination with The University Museum in Oxford.
SP007
Ichnosaur II.
Scagliola & bronze.
25x20x6cm
A development of the first fictional fossil study with a jawbone translated into bronze.
