Artist Highlight

"Welcome to The Perfect View. Since 1993 we have been displaying our unique creations in juried art shows and galleries throughout the  United States. We started with a vision of using vintage windows as home accessories and giving them another life as art. By appreciating the historical value and the beautiful craftsmanship of nineteenth century leading and beveling, we have enjoyed blending the beauty of these materials to create our own one-of-a-kind art pieces. We hope you enjoy displaying our creations. We believe each person who appreciates our work is honoring the personal history of their past. 
Most of our windows date from the mid nineteenth to the early twentieth century. They are transformed into art by applying various finishes to the frames. The frames are painted for antiquity to create either patina or hand-rubbed, weathered glazed finishes. Our newest items are clock head curio cabinets created from architectural artifacts. While mimicking the human form they are both functional and whimsical~ a new twist on the 'grandfather clock'. Natural freeze-dried, lacquered flowers and mirrors are just a few of the materials used to create unique yet functional architectural art. In addition, beautiful curio cabinets are crafted from vintage windows and late nineteenth century salvaged barn siding finished with authentic Victorian hardware.   Other architectural elements used are vintage headers and antique doorknobs transformed into hanging racks. One of our most popular items is a key  holder. Created from reclaimed wood (barn siding or vintage molding) with back plates and an array of doorknobs (porcelain, brass or glass etc.) from the last century with skeleton keys used as the hooks".
