“Years of trying to find unique headboards and mirrors for my clients’ homes made me realize how limited the options are,” says interior designer Debi Davis. She filled the void by working antique finds into custom creations, and soon discovered she had the beginnings of a new business venture. Last year, she launched Reborn Relics, a Little Rock-based home furnishings business that uses architectural antiquary to create new headboards, mirrors and other items that have the one-of-a-kind look of true antiques. Davis and her team of artisans begin the process by creating high-quality molds of antique elements and relics, including many that she has personally collected over the years as well as more recent finds. They create small-batch casts of the items and then use them as decorative components in solid wood, hand-carved furnishings and accessories to which they apply antiqued and distressed finishes. “I’m using local craftsmen and artisans who are skilled in old world techniques,” says Davis. “Hand carving is becoming a lost art, as are these specialized aged finishes, and their ability to create these beautiful pieces that are as close to authentic as possible is what makes them such treasures. We’re the opposite of mass produced.” The Reborn Relics collection currently includes headboards, mirrors, wall hangings and other accessories, and is available through Cobblestone & Vine stores in Little Rock.
