There are objects that decorate a room, and then there are objects that seem to carry an entire story with them.

This wonderful vintage French artist’s palette is the latter; a beautifully timeworn wooden palette still covered in the rich remnants of an artist’s work. Layers of oil paint remain across the surface in deep Prussian blues, forest greens, ochres, earthy umbers, flashes of crimson and golden yellow, creating an accidental abstract composition all its own.

The thickly worked paint, old thumb hole and wonderfully imperfect surface give it extraordinary texture and character. Propped on a mantel, tucked amongst paintings in a gallery wall, or displayed on an easel, it brings the unmistakable atmosphere of an old French atelier into the home.

We especially love pieces like this because they are utterly singular. The palette itself has become a work of art—a little artifact of the creative life that came before.
