This great American architect regarded his houses as symphonies, each composed as a beautiful whole down to the smallest detail. He shaped not just the shell, but everything that went with it: furniture, skylights, art glass windows, light fixtures, textiles, carpets, murals, decorative accessories, even the surrounding landscape. The Wright Style offers an extraordinary guided tour of more than forty houses, from Frank Lloyd Wright's own homes in Oak Park, Illinois, and at the two Taliesins in Wisconsin and Arizona, via classic residences such as the Fallingwater, Wingspread and Hollyhock houses, to the creations of a dozen other architects - including Rudolf Schindler, John Lautner and Fay Jones - who have continued the tradition in startling new ways. All of Wright's periods are represented, and the many colour illustrations show how present-day occupants harmonize and live with their glorious dwellings.

Description: Ceramic reproduction of Frank Lloyd Wright’s design of a copper urn manufactured by Haeger Potteries. Wright began experimenting with variations of the design for the Urn as early as 1894, and the design of the first designed this copper urn in the late 1890's, "Monograph 1887-1901" Pfeiffer, 1991, pages 60-61. Manufacturer’s description: “Frank Lloyd Wright originally designed a pair of eighteen inch Copper Urns for the Edward C. Waller House located in River Forest, IL (Remodeled 1899). The round shape and circular patterns of the design replicate the pattern created for the baluster railing at the top of the stairway. The design incorporates repeated design elements that became synonymous with Wright's use of the circle, square and triangle when developing the decorative objects to be displayed within the interior rooms. Hammering and pressing on the reverse side of copper sheets accomplished the production of the urns. This is known as repoussé. Records show that at least six additional urns were produced and placed in both residential and commercial locations in the early 1900's. Only three of the six are believed to be currently in existence.        This ceramic adaptation of the Copper Urn is approximately one half the size of the eighteen inch original. This rendition of the Frank Lloyd Wright classic urn is made of earthenware. Each piece is hand cast and finished. The under glaze is hand applied then wiped off. This is done to accentuate all the fine details on the urn. The second application of glaze is then applied over the first glaze. The two glazes have been formulated to give a unique one of a kind glaze treatment.        The singular beauty of this Copper Urn, although first conceived and manufactured one hundred and ten years ago, reflects Wright's ability to create buildings and objects that are truly timeless.”        After being in business for over 145 years, Haeger Potteries ceased operations in 2016. Text on base of urn: “Frank Lloyd Wright Collection.” Size: The original size of Wright’s 1890's Urn was 18.” This urn: 8." Sheet: 8.5 x 11.

Description: In 1955 Frank Lloyd Wright designed three lines of furniture for production by Heritage Henredon. The Burberry, The Honeycomb and The Four Square. Only the Four Square line was produced and was presented in the November 1955 issue of House Beautiful. Wright also designed accessories, but only prototypes were produced, two of which were published in the November 1955 House Beautiful, a tall vase and an 8" x 8" square vase, p.290. The four square design was woven into the furniture as well as fabric. In 1973, the Yellowstone Art Center, Billings, Montana exhibited never produced "Four Square" furniture including a high back chair, low back chair with and without arm, three different hassocks, and a footstool built specifically for the exhibition. Also on display were large "Four Square" boxes, used as display pedestals, but almost appear as end tables. The high back chair, low back chair with arms and one of the hassocks were later published in "The Prairie School Tradition," 1979/1985, p.112-113. In 1996, Historical Arts and Casting produced a line Frank Lloyd Wright decorative designs, which included a few of the Heritage-Henredon designed accessories, one of which was the Four Square Ornamental Cube Vase.

Description: Tall Crystal Emerald Green Bud Vase, created in 1929, adapted from the design for the Leerdam Glassfabrik Company, Holland. In 1929, Wright designed tableware including china, stemware, serving pieces, candlesticks, and vases. According to Phieffer, “Frank Lloyd Wright Monograph” 1924-1936 Volume 5, 1990, page 74, a few designs were executed including a tall hexagonal flower vase in deep emerald green glass. During our research, we located this photograph on the Bas Van Beek (Rotterdam) wedsite. Their caption reads: “In 1922 Royal Leerdam commissioned Frank Lloyd Wright to design a coffee service and vases for the American market. In 1929/29 only one vase was executed but was considered a failure by Mr. Wright because the interior of the vase didn’t line up with the exterior. Something that to this date is still impossible using the pressed glass technique.” Of note: Both the Museum Boijmans (ST#2001.91) and Bas Van Beek (ST#2001.92) indicate that only one vase was produced. This example appears to be much taller and closer to Wright’s original design (S#0228.38). Bas Van Beek does not indicate where this example is located. Courtesy of the Bas Van Beek, Rotterdam.

During our research, we located this photograph on the Bas Van Beek (Rotterdam) wedsite. Their caption reads: “In 1922 Royal Leerdam commissioned Frank Lloyd Wright to design a coffee service and vases for the American market. In 1929/29 only one vase was executed but was considered a failure by Mr. Wright because the interior of the vase didn’t line up with the exterior. Something that to this date is still impossible using the pressed glass technique.” Of note: Both the Museum Boijmans (ST#2001.91) and Bas Van Beek (ST#2001.92) indicate that only one vase was produced. This example appears to be much taller and closer to Wright’s original design (S#0228.38). Bas Van Beek does not indicate where this example is located. Courtesy of the Bas Van Beek, Rotterdam.

(ST#2006.45.0825)           PRINT STAND     Date: 2010 Title: Japanese Print Stand adaptation, 2010. Description: In 1908 Wright loaned over two hundred prints to an extensive exhibition of Japanese Colour Prints, March 5-25, 1908, at The Art Institute of Chicago, entitled A Loan Exhibition of Japanese Colour Prints. The committee in charge, and major contributors, were Clarence Buckingham, Frederick W. Gookin, J. Clarence Webster and Frank Lloyd Wright. It was the largest exhibit of Ukiyo-e prints ever displayed in America. Wright designed the exhibition installation for the Art Institute. Included with the designs for the exhibition was a Japanese Print Easel or Stand. In November, 2010 my son-in-law, James C. Rust gave us a table top version of the Print Stand. Not having original plans to work with, he created a very accurate adaptation of the shorter table top Print Stand. Thirty-six inches in height, eight in width and twelve inches in depth, it is made of oak, stained with walnut, and coated with a satin finish. What once was an obscure two dimensional element, comes to life as a detailed three dimensional object illustrating the mind of Frank Lloyd Wright. Gift from James C. Rust. For more information see our Wright Study on the Japanese Print Stand. Size: 36H x 8W x 12D ST#: 2010.06.1110             VASE   Date: 1992 Title: Short geometric vase, flower/weed holder. Description: Originally designed by Frank Lloyd Wright circa 1898. This reproduction was produced in 1992 by Historic Arts & Casting, Inc. The top is turned 45 degrees with the top and bottom overlapping and intersecting each other. According to Pfeiffer, "There is a collection of nine drawings in the archives which are cataloged as ‘Vases and Flowerholders.’ For the most part they are freehand sketches, and probably cover a five or ten year period of time." Frank Lloyd Wright Monogram 1887-1901, 1896. They range from an earlier floral Sullivanesque design to those that are more geometric in design. Cast in 1992 by Historic Arts & Casting, produced to give the appearance it was manufactured in copper, and finished with a natural patina finish. Manufactured at the same time as the 29" Weed Holder reproduction, which was manufactured in cast copper. This may be the first time this vase was ever produced. Engraved in base: Frank Lloyd Wright logo, "Frank Lloyd Wright Foundation, (C) (R) 1992" and the Historical Arts logo, "Historical Arts & Casting, Inc., Prod." Stamped (number): "632." Includes glass tube insert, 5.75" long. Size: 6.5 " High, 3" Base, 1.5" Top.
