Candle Planter
Typically when Wright designed a house for someone he would also design its furnishings.
The Martin House (1904 Buffalo, NY) was no exception. The furniture
designs for a formal Dining Room suite (The main table, chairs, side tables and some
unique light standards to be placed on the corners of the main table. Other Wright
light standards can be seen in Robie, Meyer May, and Boynton houses.) Based
on an original drawing in the Frank Lloyd Wright archives and working with an
original oak base, the "Candle Planter" (light standard) was
reconstructed. The Candle Planter's design incorporates four 7 ", bronze
candlesticks with moveable glass or copper shades, and a wood base (oak or cherry)
with a 10 1/4" diameter blown glass or spun copper bowl. Maximum height
29".

Vase
from the Martin House
This 30 1/2" vase was designed in 1904 by
Frank Lloyd Wright for the Darwin Martin House in Buffalo, NY. Wright made many
designs for decorative elements found throughout the Martin House, many were made, however
some were never executed. This design was found on a drawing for a bookshelf; it is
unclear if this design was ever actually produced.

Square
Vase
When Frank Lloyd Wright designed the "Four Square" line of furniture for his
Heritage Henredon collection, he designed accessories as complements to the furniture
pieces. Our vase, the smallest of the series of four square vases, was originally
designed in olive wood with a copper liner. Although it was never put into
production, a prototype was made by the New York company, Mimic. The prototype was
used in the November 1955 issue of House Beautiful to help promote Wright's new line
of furnishings. Our reproduction is cast in bronze, it is designed to accommodate a
standard 5 1/2" clay pot and is 8" square.

Copper
Urn
With its geometric design created by a series of interlocking square and circular motifs,
this Frank Lloyd Wright "urn" first appeared in 1898 and was conceived in
conjunction with the weed holder. It was originally executed in copper repousse'
by James A. Miller and Brothers of Chicago. The influence of Wright's years of
study with Louis Sullivan is apparent in the intricate nature of this urn. It was
one of Wright's favorite objects, appearing with minor decorative variations in several
interiors. It is known that at least nine were made, including those for the Dana
house, Edward C. Waller house, Brownes, Bookstore and pairs for both the Coonley house and
Wright's own home and studio. 18".

Pocket Vase
This elegant "Pocket Vase" was designed for repousse' copper at the
request of James A. Miller of Chicago. Wright designed several vases that had a
similar arrangement of openings ( A tall, central vase with small "pockets"
arranged around the base)- Among them are the "skyscraper vase" (first seen in a
1907 exhibit of Wright's work at the Art Institute of Chicago) and Teco vase that Wright
designed for the Unity Temple (Oak Park, IL, 1906). To our knowledge this piece was
never produced. The drawing for this vase was published in the book FRANK
LLOYD WRIGHT drawings for living architecture in 1959 Finely crafted here
in cast bronze, our vase stands 18" high with an 8 3/4" square base.

Heritage
Henredon Duo Vase
This Piece was originally designed by Frank Lloyd Wright as a part of a collection of
accessories to compliment his Heritage Henredon line of home furnishings. Although
it was never put into production, a prototype was made by the New York company Mimic.
The prototype was used in the November 1955 issue of House Beautiful to help
promote Wright's new line of furnishings. Originally designed in olive wood with
copper liners, our reproduction is in cast bronze. It stands 21" high and is
about 7 1/2" square at its base.

Weed Holder
Wright's 29" weed holder was designed with a long and slender shaft of four slightly
indented sides supported by a square shaft. Each side has recessed panels stepping
down to an oval protrusion turned an eighth of a turn from the shaft, and a four sided
base repeating the plane of the shaft. According to author Davis A. Hanks, the 'weed
holder' was probably designed subsequent to Frank Lloyd Wright establishing an independent
practice in 1893. Its first documented appearance is in an historic 1895 photograph,
taken in the architect's Oak Park home. This "individual flower holder"
became a familiar decorative object in his own residence and those of his clients.

for flowers and a bobeche to catch candle wax will be provided to insert into the pieces.

Storer
House Block
Designed in 1923 for the John Storer House,
this decorative panel is a reproduction of a concrete block that was used though out
the house. Wright's idea for the Storer House and other in the area, was to create a
building system that was unique and indigenous to the area in which he was building, in
this way, he said the building would be "organic" He created a system of
construction in which individual cast concrete blocks were "wove" together to
create the "fabric" of the house. Many of the blocks had plain, flat
surfaces, however other were modeled to create interesting shadows and textures, both on
the interior and the exterior. Our block is a perforated, patterned block that was
used for light grilles, room divided and a kind-of "curtain wall" in the
bedrooms of the house. Cast aluminum, sandblasted and lacquered, or copper plated
and patinated. 16" square.
