PR Log (Press Release) – Sep 23, 2008 – sharpe-designs gallery site has a gorgeous new collection of Contemporary Celtic designs in pewter - a Curvilinear collection for the Celtic purist inspired by the Curvilinear designs used on Celtic horse mounts, torc and shield boss decoration.

Curvilinear Art, or, Insular British Art, is a very beautiful and distinctive Celtic Art which flourished through the 1st century BC until the 1st century AD. In curvilinear art none of the lines cross each other. The interlacing knot work, commonly thought of as Celtic was brought to Britain in the 6th century AD by Saxon Christian monks.

Celtic Pewter Gifts - a beautiful new gift collection of small pewter pots with decoration found on Celtic horse fittings, shields and torque terminals and Anglo Saxon designs from the Sutton Hoo Hoard. The gorgeous Duck Casket and Anglo Saxon pot are also cast in pewter with decoration inspired by finds from the Sutton Hoo ship burial. To compliment the pots are a pair of curvilinear design iron coasters and The Duck and Falcon iron coasters, little works of art for your table. You will also find pewter tankards, plates and the macabre, but lovely, quill pen and Athelstans' Skull pot. The curvilinear theme continues with the Green Man Ecowarrior print on Tshirts, vests and polo shirts.

Also in pewter, a fantastic array of dark side jewellery. Gorgeous necklaces, bracelets, earrings and wristbands in Skull n X bones, spider, bat and pentacle designs, and set with Swarovski crystals. Pewter Talismans for blessings, Planetary Talismans, Goddesses and Pentacles. These talismans are incredibly detailed and craftsman made in the finest quality Excelsior pewter.
