1 – Dining Room Seating
Prepare your holiday haven with some irresistibly stylish seating. We love the sumptuous leather of these Louis XIII dining chairs. The comfort is perfect for extravagant meals and great conversation. Likewise, the sleek Italian design of these mid-century chairs brings modern lines to a space without sacrificing luxury. The black leather Modernist set is equally high in quality with an emphasis on structure. No holiday meal is complete without a comfortable and beautiful set of dining chairs!
2 – French Buffet
Enhance and elevate your space with a touch of French elegance by adding an antique or vintage buffet to your home. Crafted from solid wood construction, these buffets are a testament to classic design. The quality and craftsmanship of the pieces are alluring and functional. Each boasts interior storage and adds a dedicated bar/serving area. Hardware and marble may add a touch of opulence, while the impressive size creates a focal point in a dining space. These case pieces are a holiday essential for anyone serving drinks or food – or even just storing bottles for the new year!
3 – Murano Glass Chandelier
Illuminate your sparkly centerpieces and festive evenings with the enchanting glow of Murano glass lighting. Crafted by the skilled artisans in the heart of Murano, Italy, each chandelier is a masterpiece. Using intricate hand-blowing techniques, each lighting piece captures the essence of the glass and highlights the bold colors and unique forms. With grandeur and elegance, they bring a radiance to any room while also adding character and style. Bring the holiday glow into your home with mood lighting filtered through the hand-blown glass.
4 – Dining Table
Your dining table is the centerpiece of your dining room, and you can enhance its visual impact by choosing a piece of quality. Showcase your table’s features! From intricate woodwork, decorative inlays, to original patinas, allow the table’s exquisite craftsmanship to take the spotlight while maintaining a cohesive and visually engaging composition. Specifically for the holidays, we are loving the impact of an antique monastery table. The warmth of the solid wood is eye-catching and perfect to host around.
5 – Murano Glass Vase
Experience the enchantment of the holidays through the Italian craftsmanship of a Murano glass vase full of flowers! Crafted using century old techniques, these vases evoke the organic beauty of nature. In striking colors, these vases capture the essence of winter’s sparkle. They are each a celebration of texture, color, and artistic expression. Pairing them with your favorite flowers creates a stunning focal point to infuse your space with a fresh aura. They are easily as eye-catching when placed on their own as well. The perfect final touch to an entertaining space – or as a gift for your favorite host!
