Another fun fragment to add to your decor is the Athenian Wing, this outstanding piece is cast in resin and looks like it came from a archeological dig in Athens, it is actually a modern casting that is made to look ancient and carved out of heavy stone. It is lightweight and would make a major impact as a piece over a favorite sofa or chair set. It is not a small piece but the detail and beauty of this piece are outstanding.
The Celtic Arch Fragment looks fantastic when paired on a wall with a plant or two. It stands well alone or as part of a set to highlight a table or other favored piece of furniture. The Celtic Arch is extremely detailed and has a great look that will pair well with most decors. If you're looking for that one impact piece for your walls, this might be the piece for your decor.

The Floral Vines look fantastic paired around a doorway or simply side by side on a smallish wall to give the area a feeling of having more height. As with the other panels, these are cast in a lightweight resin that is easy to hang, not too heavy for your wall and can be stained to compliment your decor.
The Garden Series is a 9-piece set that can be purchased all at once or individually in case you don't have room for 9-pieces in your decor design. These floral imprints cast in resin lend an interesting lift to any room and look especially nice as an offset on a blank wall.
