Description

The word “vertu” is the love of or taste for collectible objects or fine objects of art. The Snake Bedside Necklace Stand was hand sculpted in New York and then hand-cast from solid brass by the Werkstatte Carl Auböck. The Werkstatte Carl Auböck has been operating in the same studio since 1908 in Vienna, Austria and their piece have earned cult status among collectors.

First collaborating in 2021 with our classic snake bookends, Beth and Carl were inspired by Beth's love for antique pocket watch stands. These multipurpose stands serve as a sculpture but with a singular utilitarian purpose. They were typically placed bedside so that way a person’s pocket watch was visible at a glance, didn’t get misplaced, and stayed safe and clean. They were inspired to create their own bedside stand for necklaces for the same purpose. Useful, beautiful, meaningful and storied; Just the kind of thing to rest your eyes on as you drift off to sleep.

Each piece is hand-cast from solid brass using the same traditional “lost wax” method of casting that FoundRae utilizes; making one piece at a time.
