Accessories
Silver in decorative and functional pieces
is perfect for this era’s influence. Silver
serving pieces, tea sets and candelabra
come to mind immediately. Books in
shelving and with bookends on surfaces
are a must. Ceramic dogs, zebras,
cheetahs, and other animals can be used
on the floor as accents, typically about 24
to 30’ high.
Ceramic jardinières, garden stools and
vases in Chinese patterns can add colour
and also function as pedestals, planters or
vases. Ornate framed paintings and table
top framed photos of ancestors and family
can be another way to bring the style into
your home.
Fresh floral and greenery are necessary
additions. Fine china tea sets can be used
to serve guests, especially Meissen and
other classic china, this of course is more
a lifestyle change than décor, but quite
fitting nonetheless.
