Patience & Perserverance

NYBG Garden Pagoda Cream & Sugar Set

 

Back in 2009, I started collecting pieces from the New York Botanical Garden - Lunt Silversmiths Collection filled with fabulous chinoiserie pieces. It was immediately retired and became very collectible. From my post back in 2009 -

"The New York Botanical Garden and Lunt Silversmiths have created a beautiful collection of tableware and decorative accessories inspired by some of the finest examples of botanical art in the Rare Book Collections of the Garden's LuEsther T. Mertz Library. The lovely pieces combine 18th century botanical imagery with a modern sensibility."

My Chinoiserie Luncheon

I will be hosting a little luncheon this week and did a test run of my table setting with my Home, James! chargers, Horchow bamboo flatware, Lunt New York Botanical Garden glasses, Horchow foo dog salt and pepper, and $2 each Wedgwood "Eastern Flowers" salad plates from my favorite thrift store.
