Nona purchased two Gloria Stuart lamps many years ago at Décor, Ltd in L.A. They are a stunning example of Gloria Stuart's découpage artwork.

Gloria Stuart, a 1930s Hollywood leading actress, and later in life, played a significant role in Titanic as Old Rose.
Stuart took a break from her acting career in 1945. She went to New York where she visited the studio of a découpage artist. Drawn to the art form, she thought it could replace acting in her life. She opened a shop on Los Angeles's decorators' row, named it Décor, Ltd. Stuart created découpaged lamps, mirrors, tables, and chests. Over the next four years, her work gained attention and her pieces were carried by Lord & Taylor in New York, Neiman Marcus in Dallas, Bullock's in Pasadena and Gump's in San Francisco. (Wikipedia)
