Artful Gift Giving

It’s that time of year to keep an eye out for the perfect gift for everyone you hold dear (maybe even including yourself!). There is nothing more timeless or unique than an antique or vintage work of art– whether it’s a sculpture, a painting, or a handblown Murano glass accessory. The soul and sentimentality of these pieces is unmistakable, not to mention their beauty. We’ve gathered some of our favorite art available in our gallery right now, that are sure to be favorites this gift-giving season.

Framed pictures are always a thoughtful way to share special memories with your loved ones. Add an extra “wow” factor with one of our vintage handblown Murano glass frames attributed to Venini.

 

Give the gift of luck, wisdom, and strength in the form of an elephant. These beautiful creatures are always a favorite, and make a unique accessory.

Does someone you know need a new centerpiece or flower vase? Look no further, because the island of Murano has perfected the art of show-stopper bowls and vases. Just let the flowers know they might have some competition.

       

Sculptures make an excellent office, desk, or bookshelf accessory. We have a diverse range of materials and styles, from a vintage bronze panther to an antique bust of Beethoven.

  

You can’t go wrong with an original painting or photograph. Whether over the hearth, in the entry, or anywhere else, these special pieces are sure to bring joy each day.

  

Bring light into your loved ones’ lives with a pair of Murano glass lamps or sconces! These fixtures are works of art in their own right.

      

Art is a personal and shared experience, and it incites conversation and engagement between those around it. It is the gift that keeps on giving, and is sure to be the perfect expression of love and appreciation this holiday season. We at Jean-Marc Fray Antiques wish you all the joy this time of year brings!
