Traditional by Design. Elegant by Nature.

Some hand-painted earring holders command a room with quiet authority the moment you see them. The Damask is one of them — a bold, traditional damask pattern painted in deep black across both the fiberglass screen and the white distressed frame, creating a striking high-contrast piece that feels simultaneously formal and completely at home on a modern dresser.

It’s the kind of piece that belongs in a well-appointed space. For the woman who appreciates classic design, timeless patterns, and functional art that looks like it was chosen with great care — this is that piece.

The Art Behind the Design

Every Damask is painted entirely by hand in our Michigan studio by artist Barbara Downey, using a process she has refined over nearly 30 years. The technique is entirely our own — part American folk art tradition, part closely guarded studio secret. What begins as a blank screen becomes something you’ll want to look at every single day.

The damask pattern extends from the screen onto the solid wood frame itself — painted as one continuous composition so the bold design fills every inch with intention. No two pieces are ever quite identical. That’s not a flaw — that’s the point.

The Frame

The white distressed finish gives the Damask a crisp, clean backdrop that makes the bold black pattern pop with maximum impact. Applied by hand in our Michigan studio, the worn edges reveal warm wood beneath, softening the high contrast ever so slightly — giving the piece warmth without sacrificing its elegance. It pairs beautifully with black and white décor, neutral interiors, and any space that values classic sophistication.
