Wallace Sewell For Dulwich Picture Gallery Woollen Scarf
Get your presents wrapped up with this limited edition lambswool scarf, created exclusively for Dulwich Picture Gallery by British textile duo Wallace Sewell. A great gender neutral choice, its colour and pattern is inspired by the contrasting hues of Ribera’s baroque palette and chiaroscuro painting style. You can’t say that about many scarves…

Martin Tomsky Heart Earrings
‘Tis the season for people to wear their hearts on their sleeves…or their ears! London-based artist Martin Tomsky has created this bespoke range of macabre jewellery from laser-cut, stained plywood. Taking inspiration from Ribera’s artworks, each piece is hand-assembled to create a unique object. These heart earrings are double-sided, revealing the anatomical workings beneath the surface.
