A curated collection of antique Chinese porcelain, arranged on wooden shelves against a delicate botanical background of wildflowers, grasses and cornflowers in soft watercolour tones. Two rows of vases — ginger jars, temple vases, gu-form beakers, cloisonné pieces and famille verte urns — are rendered in photographic detail, each one distinct, each one a world of its own.
The blue and white pieces dominate: classic cobalt landscapes, dragon motifs, figural scenes and floral cartouches painted with the precision of museum-quality objects. Alongside them sit rarer pieces — a cloisonné vase in jewel tones, a famille verte jar with garden scenes in emerald and rust, a polychrome urn with pine and crane. The background flora, light and airy, prevents the composition from feeling heavy and gives the whole design a fresh, almost dreamlike quality.
The result is the chinoiserie cabinet of curiosities reimagined for a contemporary interior. Sophisticated, layered and deeply referential — exceptional in living rooms, dining rooms, studies and hallways where a sense of collected history and quiet grandeur is the ambition.
