Effectus Lux Lucis by Victoria Grant
London Milliner, Victoria Grant, brings a whole new edge to contemporary hat wearing. Her arresting designs have attracted a host of style-charting devotees including Dita Von Tees, Christina Aguilera, Penelope Cruz, Annie Lennox, Dolce & ; Gabanna & Jay Joplin. None more so than this one created exclusively for 20ltd.com. Inspired by the British Royal Artillery and Medieval Execution Mask, this remarkable piece combines Victoria’s whimsical sense of Heritage vs. Humour to create a fully functional Art Piece. To be worn or used as a lamp (Maximum Wattage 15). Hand crafted from Pierced Fur felt and Aluminium Chain with an ostentatious Bird of Paradise puff it is a high salute to good old British Heritage and the mysterious underworld of sex & roleplay pursued through the ages.

Portraits of the Renaissance S.E.
Memling, Van Eyck, Antonello da Messina, Raphael, Holbein, Titian, Leonardo . . . these are the greatest names of the Renaissance which symbolize the ultimate in artistic achievement. Now their work is reproduced in this spectacular, luxury volume printed on cotton paper and exquisitely presented in a brown and turquoise linen case. Whether Italian, Flemish, or German, all were masters of the portrait, a style that was popular and much appreciated during the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries. The genius of these artists allowed them to overcome the limits of the genre and inscribe the art of portraiture into the universal history of mankind. Sharply focused and featuring meticulously researched illustrations, this beautiful book is the first of its kind to shed light on some of the most familiar images in art history.
