Dreaming of Spring
I’m a native Floridian and have lived in Florida all of my life. It’s not supposed to be this cold!
February is usually quite lovely and mild. Temperatures are in the mid-to-high 70s and the sun smiles upon us all. But this year has been positively arctic.
Luckily, folk art has always warmed my soul and I’ve [...]
Reflections on Mirrored Furnishings
Although we don’t carry a large number of mirrored pieces I have always had a great appreciation for the finer examples.

The grandfather clock is so unusual. It reminds me [...]
Mother of Pearl Inlay
Mother of Pearl inlay, also known as luodian, originated in China during the Song dynasty (960-1279) and the technique was soon used throughout Asia.
These particular pieces were created by artisans in India. The light base color is rare (dark colors are standard for this style) and the detail is extraordinary.

One of a Kind?
This beautiful silk and linen decorative pillow is truly unique, and the chocolate and cream color scheme is positively delicious!
I was initially hesitant to put this pillow on the blog, my excuse being that I’ve never seen another like it and the artist is no longer making them. But Excentricities is known for one-of-a-kind gems! [...]
