Reclaimed Pappy Barrel Museum Bee by Trace Mayer - Bird Dogs

  • We are adding to our collection of custom Pappy & Company Museum Bees! So, what exactly is a Museum Bee? Essentially they are antique frames repurposed into tiny works of art. Chenault has been commissioning custom Museum Bees for her clients for years, as a way to infuse charm, elegance and personal effects into her projects. Aligning with our goal of sustainably reusing our barrel stave wood, we’ve worked with Louisville artist, and Museum Bee creator, Trace Mayer, to craft our very own.

    Using a variety of antiques and vintage ornaments, charms and found treasures, Trace Mayer crafts these entirely unique works of art. Hang in a gallery wall, on your bar, above or alongside paintings or hanging plates, or just simply set alongside a table top display for a special and singular decorative element.

    Our Pappy & Company Museum Bees are handcrafted by Trace, in partnership with Chenault James Interiors, using our genuine retired Pappy Van Winkle Barrel Staves and feature symbolic icons that visually represent the legacy of Pappy Van Winkle. Similar to our original Brass Keys Pappy & Company Keys Museum Bee, our Bird Dog Museum Bee is reflective of our shared heritage and the traditions we honor. Inspired by Pappy’s passion for hunting and his beloved bird dogs who accompanied him, the Bird Dog Museum bee displays a brass relief of bird dogs pointing.

    Due to the nature of crafting these with reclaimed barrel stave woods means that each Museum Bee is completely unique and includes the signature markings that honor the bourbon making process.
