Quality trumps quantity in our selection of remarkable collectibles that will add a full-proof cachet to your trove of treasures.
NEPTUNE BOWL BY L’OBJET ATELIER COLLECTION
An exceptional decorative piece that highlights the beauty of nature, coincidently the most difficult motif to reproduce. L’Objet craftsmen demonstrate all their mastery in the work of fine porcelain and gold. Every detail of the shells is reproduced to perfection to create outstanding beauty. Suitable for food service or as a decorative vessel.
SILVER METAL WATER JUG BY CHRISTOFLE
Set a refined and elegant table with the silver plated Malmaison water pitcher with ebony wood handle. One of Christofle’s most historic patterns, Malmaison typifies the Empire style, with its frieze of delicate palm, lotus leaves and symmetrical design. The name is a nod to the Chateau de la Malmaison, a favored Parisian residence of Napoleon Bonaparte and Empress Josephine.
VING SET WITH GLASS DOME BY LORENZI MILANO
A special showcase for extraordinarily daily objects; a bell made of blown glass with a mother of pearl knob holds the shaving set, while protecting and preserving it in a perfectly dry place. The Gillette Fusion razor and the badger hair shaving brush are made of the same precious material, as well as the frame which supports them, thus creating an ideal dimension of a nearly regal inspiration.
STATIONARY BUREAU BY SMYTHSON
For those individuals who love nothing more than a well-written thank you note, or if you simply love putting pen to paper, the Mara stationery bureau is the ultimate desk accessory. Bound in the Mara collection’s distinctive printed calf leather, it’s a sophisticated, conversation-starting piece.
THE RUNWELL BY SHINOLA
Inspired by the enduring French style of Porteur bicycles, first used by newspaper couriers in Paris, The Runwell delivers a classic blend of urban style and practicality. Meticulously designed to yield the best characteristics of a lugged steel frame and fork, this bike was engineered to handle predictably and smoothly commuting and errand running. Each component is fitted by hand and tested for quality precision. This close attention to detail ensures that every bicycle that ships from Shinola’s Detroit workshop delivers impeccable reliability and craftsmanship.
