Baroque creations with a “wild side”

Baroque style has traditionally not strayed too far from the norm. Lucky for us, William P. Sullivan came along and managed to shake things up. For his entire life, Bill loved using his hands. Making wooden ships starting at the age of 10 and progressing to restoring furniture by age 19, his future was secured when commissions from the MET followed to reproduce items from nothing more than an old, grainy photograph.

In the future, Sullivan would like to produce more limited-edition works and maybe try his talented hand at sculptures. Whatever he makes, we’re sure it will be a “work of art!”

Sullivan’s Hadrian mirror is framed in cold-cast bronze and has quickly become a cult favorite!
