Christmas Wish List


Lalique Fantasia Vase

Link to Lalique Fantasia Vase


The Lalique Fantasia vase is a classic Art Nouveau design, which could be found displayed in a home in 1915 just as easily as it could in 2014. It's really a steal at $1500 and will be a timeless heirloom piece.



Man has always been fascinated by the vast world around us. The sky, the planets, and the sea form a magical, infinite universe that opens the doorway to our most extravagant dreams. In celebration of that fascination, this exquisite vase depicts four Venuses with freshwater pearl plaits, shrouded by mist, emerging from a cloud. When light hits the deep midnight blue surface just right, it showcases the varying shades, adding playfulness to the piece.

From the Midnight Blue Collection.
Lead crystal.
Hand wash.
Approximately 4.625"Dia. x 7"T.
Handcrafted in Franc

Lalique Cascade Perfume Bottle 2010


Although I am not a perfume bottle collector, my mother would just die to have this. It's quite stunning and would be the focus of her perfume bottle collection. 

This Limited Edition flacon pays homage to one of Rene Laliques creations: the Poissons Fountain. A masterpiece made in 1937, the fountain was put on show at the International Exhibition of Arts and Contemporary Living in Paris.




Early Art Nouveau Loetz Vase


I do believe this vase to be an early 1900s Loetz vase. It's not Loetz Papillon, but in a very similar vein. The glass has gorgeous saturated, vibrant colors and the metal framework really adds a striking Art Nouveau appeal.



Neiman Marcus Alligator Bi-fold Wallet in Blue


I absolutely hate the fact that it's real alligator skin as I try not to purchase animal products, but it's such a gorgeous wallet. I love that it's an understated deep blue instead of being too bright.





Movado Serio Watch


I just adore mechanical watches as the intricate designs and watchworks peak my interest. However, I cannot pass up the beautiful and classic design of this Movado watch. I must have it.





Theodore Alexander Basking Lizards Box


The burl wood, the penshell inlays, the lizard handles. They are all must haves. 




SS Normandie Poster Cutaway, 1937


I've always been fascinated by ships and ocean liners, specially. Recently, I've developed a fascination with the French ocean liner, the SS Normandie. It was one of the most beautiful ships ever created, and it is a fine example of the French Art Deco period.
