We gather a few of our favorite
discoveries each year to share with our customers. We are
featuring a taste of the very old combined with the very new as seen in fresh
works from local artists, works of Crest Jewel's very own, Becca Ferry, new
paintings on very old and very beautiful money (actually rupee notes from banks
in India created in the 1800's) and a collection of old Indian posters from the
beginning of the 20th century offered in their original frames with fresh
backing paper. We hope you enjoy our eclectic mix and are able to see why we
grouped them all together this year. |

Crest Jewel Poster |
|
The original poster was commissioned by Crest Jewel's owners in the early 1980's. Painted in the style of Maxfield Parish the merchant offering his wares bore a distinct resemblance to one of the owners at the time. Though the original is owned by a previous member of the Crest Jewel Family and still resides in Fairfield, we are offering the posters that were made from the painting.
