Another Piece of Josephine's

A gorgeous swan china and gold bowl that belonged to Josephine Boneparte. It's from the manufacturer Darte Freres. Enjoy an amazing piece of decorative art.

Feeling Very Parisian

Another French chateau 1.1 million. Can you imagine that's all you need to buy this???

You Can...

Buy this beautiful French house for 2.3 million. It's 300 miles outside of Paris. Yes 2.3 is a lot - but compared to what it will buy you here in DC- this is amazing!

Today's Special

Excuse the order of this post, I meant for the first image to be last. Regardless this is a watch that belonged to Hortense, Josephine Boneparta's daughter from her first marriage. It recently was put up for auction at Christies and was estimated at $165,000-300,000 but ended up selling for 1.3 million. My favorite aspect of this piece? The arrow on the back. There is nothing more beautiful, rarely used and high style then an arrow.

Lacroix

From Christian Lacroix's website- just thought it was a neat piece that plays with perspective.

Another Piece from my Boyfriend

John Derian and his amazing decoupaged plates (this piece $80). This one is called Blue Suits and is my aesthetic to the T. Enjoy- have an inspiring day today!

A Seat for My Ass

I A*D*O*R*E this chair. It is an amazing piece of art! It's a Sweddish Piece sold through Dienstandotter.com. Enjoy this piece of high style and art.

Musical Chairs Perhaps???

Cool American piece from the mid 20th century. Oil on canvas of an empty stage with musicians chair and music stands scattered. Artist: Robert Springfels. I especially love the negative space and color palette.

Enjoy!

Turquoise Earrings

Just love these art deco diamond and turquoise earrings. I love basic and geometric shapes so these earrings would be a top pick for me (in another life!)

Meat Slicer

All important provenance information is right under the slicer (thank-God, saves me some work). I thought this was a great piece of industrial design- making something common useful and beautiful. The curvilinear lines are so peaceful in contrast to the power and slicing ability of this piece.

Kate Moss and Baby

I love this picture for three reasons - 1. The look on Kate Moss' daughters face, 2. The littler girl is wrapped in fur and, 3. What little girl has fur???? Regardless - I love fur and I love it even more on a spoiled little girl!
