Dana House - 8"H

This beauiful award has been adapted from a stained glass windown designed by Frank Lloyd Wright for the Dana-Thomas House in Springfield, Illinois. Constructed in 1902, the Dana Thomas House was built for Susan Lawrence Dana, a social activist and socialite. Because of the unlimited budget of the patron, Frank Lloyd Wright created some of his finest and most detailed art glass compositions for this elaborate home. Many are geometric abstractions of natural elemts with the midwester sumac plant as the primary motif. The natural form was interpreted, reduced to its basic geometry, and used in a variety of ays on more than two hundred windows, doors, skylight panels, and light fixtures throughout the home. The rich amber and brown palette mirrow the autumnal color scheme of the prairie Each award is branded with the Frank Lloyd Wright Collection copyright, and a portion of the sale is being donated to the Frank Lloyd Wright Foundation on behalf of your purchase to ensure the continuity of this spirit. A romance booklet about this award and your donation is included for your presentation.
