1890's Painter's Palette Decoupage Glass Tray

A page torn from an artist’s handbook, stilled under glass. This antique 1890’s color chart—cream to viridis, ceruleus to violaceus—records the language of paint from another century. You can almost hear the bristle of a sable brush and smell the mineral bite of pigment as each swatch whispers its Latin name.

Handcrafted in our New York studio in the French tradition of decoupage, the artwork is reverse-applied to bent glass, then carefully layered and burnished so the colors glow with depth while the surface remains silk-smooth. Every tray is individually signed by Ben.

Charming and practical: food-safe, wipe-clean, and felted on the reverse to protect your furniture. Beautiful on a bar with amaro and citrus, on a desk corralling pens, or displayed on a gallery easel (it may also be hung with a plate hanger).

A folded card detailing the time-honored decoupage process accompanies each piece. For painters, collectors, and lovers of color lore—this is a 19th-century studio, preserved and ready to live on your table.
