Unique Beautiful wall hanging

Feel very fortunate to have come across this vendor at Allerton Park. So many really beautiful natural pieces. Was hard to choose, Love the familiar simple sunflower and wheat design yet specialness of the work. The seller was a delight to talk with, Very knowledgeable.

STUNNINGLY BEAUTIFUL

Absolutely beautiful! Even better than the photos. The texture, depth, colors are perfect - actually perfectly imperfect as I like to say ; D. Purchased as a baby shower gift. Everyone loved it!

Plaster Botanical Bas Relief Artwork - Sunflower Dark

Truly stunning

We commissioned four large reliefs and the whole process was a delight and exciting. The amount of work and artistry is enormous. The end products beat all our expectations and have made our renovated farmhouse kitchen. We are thrilled.
