Frank Lloyd Wright Retail Products

Tuesday, February 14th, 2012 by Vanessa Pollard

A few years ago we stopped selling the Frank Lloyd Wright retail product line.  After a few tweaks and changes with the pricing and marketing we have relaunched the Frank Lloyd Wright product line in an abbreviated version.  Instead of the entire catalog from the past we are selling 6 products.

To order or for more information please contact us.

Weed Holder

Frank Lloyd Wright Bronze Weed Holder: The weed holder was one of Wright’s favorite designs. Historic photographs show the weed holder in his home as well as in the home of clients, filled with dried flowers or weed – a reminder of nature’s fields and woods. The weed holder is made of bronze and measures 29″ tall and sits on a 2″ square base. The suggested retail price is $1,800.00 + Shipping and Handling.

Copper Urn

Frank Lloyd Wright Large Copper Urn: Wright first designed this copper urn in the late 1890s, and it appears in photos of several of the houses he created in the earl 1900s. The influence of Wright’s years of study with Louis Sullivan is apparent in the intricate nature of this urn. It was one of Wright’s favorite objects, appearing with minor decorative variation throughout his career. It is known that at least nine were made, including those for the Dana house, Edward C. Waller house, Browne’s Bookstore, and pairs for both the Coonley house and Wright’s own Home and Studio. The urn is created in bronze and measures 18″ tall and the suggested retail price is $5,350.00 + Shipping and Handling.

Robie Gate

Frank Lloyd Wright Robie Gate: The gate, an adaptation from the Frederick Robie house, built in Chicago from 1908-10, was part of the motor court. It features a design of grain shafts and angular forms which echoes the full-length windows in the house. The Robie house was one of Wright’s Prairie houses and, in contrast to their usual suburban setting, was right in the city. The prairie houses hugged the ground and opened outward; the deep, overhanging roof and slightly raised placement of the house ensured the family’s privacy. Our gate is painted aluminum and measures 31″ x 16 1/2″. The suggested retail price is $825.00 + Shipping and Handling.

D.D. Martin House Vase

Frank Lloyd Wright D.D. Martin House Vase: The D.D. Martin House vase were designed for the Darwin D. Martin house in Buffalo, New York, 1903-05. Wright often designed furniture and accessories for his homes. It is not clear whether the vase was ever produced. It appears in a drawing for bookshelf in the house. Our reproduction is bronze with a striking, tapered shaft. It measures 30 1/2″ x 4″ and the suggested retail price is $3,525.00 + Shipping and Handling.

Heritage-Henredon Tall Square Vase

Frank Lloyd Wright Heritage-Henredon Tall Square Vase: This vase was designed along with two other vases by Frank Lloyd Wright for the Heritage-Henredon Furniture Company in 1955. They were intended to accompany a line of home furnishings. None of the vases were actually produced, but prototypes were made by Minic, a New York company. Photos of the vases appeared int the November 1955 issue of the The House Beautiful to help promote the furniture line. The original vases were olive wood with copper liners; our reproductions are cast bronze and come in two sizes: Large (32″ x 6″) and Small (16 1/2″ x 3″). The suggested retail cost of the vase is $1,575.00 (Small) and $2,775.00 (Large) + Shipping and Handling.
