Scalloped Wicker Table Lamp High/Low

Celerie Kemble Parasol Table Lamp - Society Social

This iconic wicker parasol lamp has been wildly popular with interior designers for years. Handwoven, rattan wicker is just as Caribbean in its style as it is sophisticated. The shade and base are both made of natural rattan; the shade features an exaggerated scallop edge while the base conceals a steel plate. The stem is crafted from stainless steel, finished in a warm antique brass that contrasts the whimsical silhouette. Two bulbs are set to a dimmer switch, so you can set the mood however you like.

 The Celerie Kemble lamp above sells for over $1,000.

Shagreen High/Low

Aerin Classic Shagreen Tray

 

Shagreen is a luxurious, durable raw hide, traditionally made from the rough skin of stingrays or sharks, characterized by small, pearl-like bumps. Popularized in 18th-century Europe, it is commonly used to cover furniture, home accessories (boxes, trays), and for small, decorative items like jewelry or weapon grips. 

Today, shagreen is primarily made from faux materials—such as polyurethane (PU), polyester resin, or stamped leather—designed to mimic the pebbled texture of stingray or shark skin. These alternatives are more durable, sustainable, and affordable than traditional, authentic hides.

Serena & Lily Vibes

Serena & Lily

 

I am such a fan of Serena & Lily and love their Breakers Rattan Floor Lamp featured above. "Light decorating takes on great new meaning with this tropical statement piece. Our architectural interpretation of a palm tree took our designers months to create and develop, and every last detail is thoughtfully considered. Hand-woven and hand-wrapped rattan brings amazing artistry and intricacy, from the two tiers of leaves down to the elegantly fluted base. Brass accents elevate the look with a bit of shine, while a trio of coconut-shaped shades brings a playful element we love."

The Wicker Elephant Table High/Low

I am such a fan of wicker elephant side tables. They make a wonderful statement piece for any lover of chinoiserie. At CCC, I have vintage and new versions and love them all.  This looks so good next to a chair, bed, or sofa. Style it with beautiful coffee table books, magazines, a wonderful candle, a pretty orchid, a small vase with fresh flowers, or whatever you like.

The Wicker Wine Tote

Ralph Lauren Bailey Wicker Wine Tote

 

I am quite often going to someone's home and bringing a bottle of wine to have with the meal. A wine tote is perfect to transport the wine safely and even keep it chilled. And those paper wine gift bags can cost $3 or $4 each and they don't protect the bottle or keep it chilled in transit. This Ralph Lauren wine tote is so elegant and a lovely choice.
