Our Autumn/Winter curated collection presents Wait

Our Autumn/Winter curated collection presents Waiting for the Apocalypse.

‘Observant, still and with intense concentration, we await a world in change. We are composed and prepared to face this unfolding new world.

There is steel in our veins.

All must be different to what we once held dear. Objects of great beauty will find a newfound practicality yet will remain newly polished and prized.

We await the Apocalypse with clear eyes and great beauties of the past in hand.’

Swipe right to see the Hermes Medor in shiny black Alligator featured in this collection’s shoot.

More of Axel Vervoordt’s matchless blending of the ancient and worn, wabi-sabi, and the modern.

Circa 1950

These elegant candlesticks hark back to the 18th century but also show evidence of a modern sensibility to their knopped and fluted outlines.
Plate is a little bit worn which gives them a softer golden appeal.

Adieu Fréderic Mechiche who died unexpectedly this week. His blend of the old with the new always in one of those perfect Parisian rooms has been a constant inspiration to Object since the 1990s.

This season on ‘The Object Lesson’ - Hermes Birkin 35 in Sanguine Porosus Crocodile.

Object specialist Ronan Sulich (@ronansulich) writes “Each Hermes Birkin is made by hand by a single craftsman and can take up to 40 hours to saddle stitch together. No machine can do this, it is done by the individual maker using two needles simultaneously going through the seam and will never unravel...” Keep reading on The Object Lesson online.

The Object Lesson will be a periodic feature highlighting an exceptional Object from the month’s collection. This Object Lesson was presented by Ronan Sulich, curator, collector and writer of the Archaean World.

Bonnefond was a popular exponent of the sinuous curves of the art nouveau style and this two light candelabrum perfectly encapsulates the movement.

Dressed in a slim fitting dress and holding an opium poppy in her left hand, Morphee swoons and leans back on two sinuous branches supporting large poppy flower nozzles.

Art nouveau bronzed spelter candelabrum, by C. Bonnefond titled Morphée circa 1900 is one piece of many in our Autumn Winter collection ‘Waiting for the Apocalypse’.

Hermes Kelly Cut in shiny black Porosus crocodile

Hermes Kelly Cut in shiny black Porosus crocodile with palladium hardware. The bag is equal parts elegant to practical as it features a single flap and spindle clasp which opens onto a calf leather interior featuring one open pocket. Boasting enough space for a purse, mobile phone, lipstick and keys. It can be carried under the arm as a clutch or using the handle.
