Anna's things at 1st dibs
quotes from Anna Leonowen's Diaries
Klimt painting
.
"It is always surprising how small a part of life is taken up by meaningful moments.
Most often they are over before they start -
although they cast a light on the future and make the person who originated them unforgettable.
Anna had shined such a light on Siam."
She would be forever changed-
"I will be there in your dreams,
as you will be in mine"
& would never forget.

Anna's Return part v
.
She was the first English woman I had ever met.
And it seemed to me she knew more about the world than anyone.
But it was a world Siam was afraid would consume them.
The monsoon winds had whispered her arrival like a coming storm.
Some welcomed the rain, but others feared a raging flood.
Still she came, unaware of the suspicion that preceded her.
But it wasn't until years later, that I began to appreciate how brave she was, and how alone she must have felt.
An English woman.
The first I had ever met. (from the 1999 movie Anna & the King-based on Anna Leonowen's diaries )

Anna's return Part iv
.
Anna had changed. She no longer embraced the traditional dress of the Victorians and was determined not to return to corsets and billowing skirts. Her life would be different this time. Her school would be different. One thing she was sure of, her heart would remain in Siam forever.

Anna's return Part ii
.
She was a stranger when she came to live in Siam-Now returning to England- she would be a stranger there too. Anna Leonowens and her son Louis had lived in Bangkok, where she was contracted to teach English to the children of the royal household. She threatens to leave when the house she had been promised is not available, but fell in love with the children-and their father. After the King's death, she embarks on a return voyage to England. Her return to England, bringing with her- an exotic household, servants and furnishings- would create a sensation. Anna had changed.

rather- a pair of Lalanne Sheep-
rather a pair of Lalanne Styled Sheep-
but, still pretty flocking fantastic if the Sheep in Sheep's clothing can not be had.
This- A Pair of sheep benches/sculptures designed after Francois Xavier Lalanne, French sculptor of surrealistic animals that doubled as furniture, circa 1960's-70's. The faces and ears are constructed of cast silvered bronze, as are the legs. The bodies are very strong solid hardwood, so they make very sturdy seat, they are covered in genuine white sheepskin.

Mark Shaw was the unofficial family photographer to the Kennedy family, this photograph from 1963, was a favorite of Jackie’s; in a letter to Mark Shaw, she wrote “they really should be in the National Gallery!… the one of John, reflected in the table, like some wonderful, strange, poetic Matisse.” John, affectionately known as John John was three years old. His recent birthday, November 25th 1960, brings thoughts of his unfulfilled promise. In this photograph he is forever suspended in reflection.
the Andrew Wilder Gallery offers Shaw's editioned prints here.

where is your style compass?
.
One of the features on 1st Dibs is called STYLE COMPASS- recently it featured Oscar de la Renta-It is a beautiful review of the World of... Highlighting his new textile collection for LEE JOFA and his charitable largess, Mr. de la Renta also makes his favourite picks from 1st dibs. This- from Kentshire Galleries, Isn't it heavenly?
A 1780 Italian neo-classical carved and painted hall bench with original decoration. The stepped back with swagged laurel wreath crest above a central roman portrait medallion and crossed boughs within a guilloche border, padded arms and upholstered seat on six legs.
My style compass right now? It seems to be where it typically points and catching sight of this extraordinary gown from Alexander McQueen's 2011Spring Collection leads me to all things Chinoiserie.Chinoiserie in black lacquer with gold decoration that is.
another McQueen creation.
The collection is being lovingly interpreted by McQueen's longtime assistant Sarah Burton. She returns to his archives -and Tim Blanks review for style.com puts it this way: Burton "confidently revisited some of her own favorite moments in her mentor's saga with a lightness that could be easily construed—for want of a better notion—as a woman's touch... & lets some light shine in."
Gorgeous really, Am remotely likely to wear it? No- Would I? Of course! Easier though, why not add a stunning piece of black laquer to a room in the house.I have a few pieces and would love another, large imposing piece. Friend and mentor Sandford did beautiful work in this style.
Here are some of my pieces:
& this antique table.
another country piece that Sandford did for a friend and client-(read a full post from the archives about this interior here
These are simple pieces.
but just Look at this cabinet on stand from the Marella Agnelli Sotheby's Auction in 2005. The piece is one of a pair of Louis XVI ebony and Japanese and European lacquer in her New York Drawing Room. These pieces are circa 1785 and stamped C.C. Saunier, JME- from the collection of William Beckford ( another story for another day)
Exquisite.
Here are some of my favourites and a part of my eternal wish list, always on my Style Compass
from 1st dibs these two pieces-
I can't help myself- I love this chair!
from 1st dibs
These fascinating chairs from a Newport, Rhode Island estate were made in the late 19th century during the Aesthetic Movement period, after the opening of Japan by Admiral Perry. Exact scholarly knowledge of "Japanese" design was not available and these wonderful chairs have both Chinese and Japanese elements with a strong Colonial Revival accents. "Japanning" which was the gold leafing and lacquering with Asian figures and designs was a term first coined in the 17th century. The chairs painted finish are in original untouched condition.
& these 3 beauties from Therien and Company
the rectangular top with concave sides and outset shaped corners incorporating removable panel with game board enclosing interior with paint and gilt decorated backgammon board, over conforming apron enclosing single drawer raised on cabriole legs ending in carved ball and paw feet; the whole displaying original gilt decorated reserves depicting country scenes and floral sprays within gilt decorated borders-19th century
the upper rectangular case with two fielded panel hinged doors enclosing fitted interior consisting of two shelves, two long drawers, and two short drawers with turned ivory pulls, with paneled sides, surmounted by ogee moulded cornice;
the lower conforming base with ogee moulded and shaped apron raised on contiguous cabriole legs ending in hairy paw feet; the whole enriched inside and out with various gilt decorated vignettes of scholars and nobles in stylized landscapes with pavilions, all within meandering floral and foliate borders- Circa 1800, Qing Dynasty
the triple-leaf top with outset rounded corners, on single action gated cabriole legs ending in scrolling toes, opening to decorated tea table surface reversing to gaming surface with candlestick insets, recessed counter wells and centered chessboard; the whole gilt decorated with exotic landscapes, scattered flowers and diapered reserves-18th century

the style saloniste, ann getty, 1st dibs & for the love of an amritzar rug
.
right now at the site 1st dibs, the Style Saloniste- Diane Dorrans Saeks has written a lush story about the design work of Ann Getty. The home of the younger generation of Trianas is photographed in Diane's article Estates of Grace. Ann Getty has combined her beautiful opulent baroque style with modern flashes of 20th century art work, youth driven but serious interiors.
Diane can tell you more HERE
The article is accompanied by the incredible photography of Lisa Romerein.
Ann Getty's design work in the Triana's small library- with walls covered in fine naturally shed peacock feathers (I believe a Schumacher paper-though not identified as such)- is pure fantasy and drop dead gorgeous. Not over the top-but just perfectly perched on the edge.(page 9) The monochromatic office is done with an Etro peacock cord fabric on the walls, sharply defined modern pieces, opaline lamps and American West art. A masterfully planned mix of objects,collections, realized by the designer seamlessly. This is another of my favourite rooms. (page 9). Getty's own home is like none other you have seen- likely.
now about that rug- Diane's question and answer portion of the story ends with Getty's selection of her favourites from 1st dibs. They are all exciting-but the one that grabs my attention is the Antique Amritzar rug available at Peter Pap Oriental Rugs at the 1st dibs site. A 6 x 9ish rug with a colour combination that won't quit. So glad Ann Getty showed this one off to me- it is stellar, Don't you think?

no longer a Mam'selle
.
But a married lady.
Emily Evans Eerdmans writes an erudite blog, writes books, namely, Classic English Design and Antiques and a favourite of mine- Regency Redux. Emily is working on a book about the one and only Madeleine Castaing. Everyone that follows Emily's blog is bowled over by her wit-especially her wit and wisdom.
Now-what to give her as a wedding present?
No, Money is no object. (it's playlike)
But always a realist-It can not be ridiculously over the top.
So-I asked myself-what would Mme. Castaing do?
I have No idea,
But perhaps she would say-something like
Be brave.
Be bold.
Ah-Be romantic.
Be bold.
Ah-Be romantic.
Make it wonderful.
I hope this chandelier arrives safely. It will always be a pain to take down, to crate, to move- But it will always Go...
with that Jansen table.
image from here
See Emily's post about the table here
The GIFT: A five light Wedgewood Porcelain mounted Chandelier-from 1st dibs, Carlton Hobbs LLC- The circular shaft, centered by an Etruscan vase, is connected to an inverted dish decorated with a relief of repeating classical figures and foliate motifs, and is centered by an inverted turned knop. The plain cylindrical upturned arms terminating in foliate drip pans. From each arm is suspended a classical amphora decorated in relief with Classical figural and foliate decoration.( and thank you to Carlton Hobbs for not disclosing the price)

the List~ in the tradition of Nancy Lancaster
.
tis the season, visions of plum pudding, decking the ballroom, etc. etc....
Nancy Lancaster is legend- it took this Virginian to create the English Country House style. Though Nancy Lancaster never considered herself a designer, she simply had the most innate sense of style. Notables were drawn to the lady's sensibility, her warmth and unselfconscious elan.
In reading through articles,revisiting books in working on several posts about Nancy Lancaster- I came across the reminiscences of her grandnieces Jane Churchill and Melissa Wyndham, both designers, who spent much time in her decorated rooms. "Everything was wonderful at Haseley Court. One Christmas there were many guests my sister and I slept in what was probably the worst bedroom, at the top of the house. Most people's worst bedrooms are bleak, but Aunt Nancy's was very, very pretty, with red-and -white-checked curtains and painted Regency furniture." Churchill said , "I can still smell her house today, recall the wonderful foods, things you didn't get anywhere else."
In her address book the elegant purveyors- Asprey, Smythson of Bond Street, Lobb, Fortnum & Mason, Floris and Ardens are noted as favourites. Her bookstore was G. Heywood Hill, 10 Curzon Street- still there- selling books. Another insight from Churchill."Nancy wouldn't buy a painting because it had a big name, more likely it was because the woman had a pretty dress- like her Elizabethan portraits with those great ruffs." Signatures of the Lancaster style- painted furniture,mixed woods, masses of flowers, luxe curtains, marbleized baseboards, needlework, period antiques & "Pairs- She loved pairs" (Trudi Ballard of Colefax and Fowler). Nancy Lancaster would add these essential ingredients for her interiors- "a wood fire, candlelight, and cut flowers."
What would Nancy see in today's stylish world of art, design, style & fashion that would strike her?
Follow along in the famed Lancaster English Country House style- Here is your list.
for the house
"A gentle mixture of furniture expresses life and continuity but it must be a judicious mixture that flows and mixes well. It is a bit like mixing a salade. (I am better at room than salads)."NL
for the breakfast room
"I never think that sticking slavishly to one period is successful, a touch of nostalgia adds charm. One needs light and shade because if every piece is perfect the room becomes a museum and lifeless." NL
for the card table
"[I like] to preserve simplicity rather than over-polishing. Fashions are changeable. Taste is in realizing the essence of a place" NL
for the wardrobe
"I've always liked a formal layout and informal planting," she explained. "First get the structure right, like the bones in a face, then plant it like a crowded shoe. If you have a strong layout, you can let the plants seed themselves all over the place. Haphazard, unexpected... I like to be surprised by a garden."NL
