Vintage Art in Pottery Barn...driving me crazy! (color, pictures, designer)

[calipoppy]

I first saw this great piece of wall art (featuring vintage furniture) in a 2008 PB catalog.....but it wasn't for sale. And I have been looking for this (or similar) artwork or the artist for a long while and its driving me nuts that I just can't find it.

If anyone has any suggestions...please help.

That is incredibly cool. Ask Pottery Barn where they got it from.

Of course it may not be for sale. It may be something a designer conjured up only for the showroom.

Odd though, that they'd display it and it is not available for sale.

Here's some pics, don't know if you'd be able to purchase them or not;

Thanks. Someone recommended that I recreate this myself but I would rather just be able to buy it and hang it!

I must have this wall art!!!

Probably not "artist" but "artists" plural. Unless I'm mistaken those look like illustrations from a furniture "guide" or textbook. Something like :
Amazon.com: The Complete Guide to Furniture Styles (9780881339390): Louise Ade Boger: Books
or
Amazon.com: The Encyclopedia of Furniture: Third Edition - Completely Revised (9780517037355): Joseph Aronson: Books

You could create your own wall hanging by copying and enlarging pictures from books such as these. Then have your montage printed by a large-scale commercial printer or (super slick) have someone who does giclee prints do them on canvas. Sounds like a wonderful art project! You've inspired me....

Whoops. You posted while I was typing.

How much are you willing to spend?

I'm smelling a new business here.

Wow! Thanks for those suggestions. I'm not super crafty but I may just have to try doing myself (or having someone else make it) maybe.

I love that the wall art in the PB catalog was huge....so I knew that it probably wasn't going to be under $300 or $400....if I even find it.

I would not think this would be too hard to find. Here is a small one:
