A Spectacular French Table

I love this antique French dining table!

French white oak with exquisite hand-carved details;
it has an outstanding stretcher with a centralized wreath flowing
to four graceful legs that support the highly decorated apron and parquetry top.
This elaborated carved table simply takes my breath away.
This 78" long table would be a great writing desk
in a study room, facing french windows, looking out the garden.

Would I be able to do any work or simply daydreaming
at this beautiful desk?

A Chinoiserie Bench - Elements oF Style

Montespan Settee

A Chinoiserie bench for a covered veranda, conservatory or entrance hall.

A red one is looking sensational
by placing next to a bush of blue hydrangea
as shown below.

Montespan Settee is so named for Louis XIV's mistress, Athenais de Montespan, who had the first Chinoiserie-influenced interior in the Trianon de Porcelaine designed by Louis Le Vau at Versailles.

This Chinoiserie-style settee is handcrafted of solid poplar and finished in rich red Chinese lacquer. The slatted seat, resting on square legs, has x-formed sides, while the back is composed of 5 circles and 4 solid rounds. The top rail centrally curves up to also form an x. A charming addition to a covered veranda, conservatory or entrance hall.

Francoise Athénais de Rochechouart de Mortemart

1640 - 1707
Contemparary painting by an unknown artist.

Soccer Chair for HIM

World Cup 2010 creates waves of madness across the globe!

and it is called Hattrick armchair.

Even I am not a soccer fan, I love this chair.
This is perfect for adult or teenage living space.

If you delivery this chair
to a soccer-fan-husband or

as a birthday present

Not only you would keep him happy for a long time and
he would definitely give you something to smile for days!

Very British!
Simply adorable!

Hackett "takes its inspiration from the traditions of British dress
without being old fashion and as such its products are
evolutionary rather than revolutionary."
