At Home in France: Inspiration and Style in Town and Country
Located in New York, NY
Author Timothy Corrigan, with Michael Boodro In his third book, AD100 and Elle Decor A-List designer Corrigan shares the joys of decorating and living in his Paris apartment and new chateau infectiously inspiring us to design à la française. Having a nineteenth-century apartment in Paris steps from the Trocadero and Eiffel Tower is a dream. So is owning an eighteenth-century chateau in the French countryside known as the “Versailles of the fields.” Having both? That’s the dreamy escapism found in designer Corrigan’s new book, which will enchant Francophiles and design lovers alike with its rich trove of ideas for anyone wanting to decorate in a French-inspired style. In the first section of the book, Corrigan invites readers into his dazzling Paris apartment, walking them through the history of the building and his design plans, from the entryway through the salons, dining room, and bedrooms. In the second part, Corrigan shares his enduring love for French country homes. Traveling through his spectacular new château room by room, he tells the story of its purchase, restoration, and decoration. Layered throughout are insights and advice on topics ranging from antiquing in Paris, hanging art in the French style, hosting with panache, and exploring the French countryside. With gorgeous new photography commissioned for the book, this volume is a must for everyone who dreams of living in France and bringing French chic into their own lives. About The Author Timothy Corrigan has been named to virtually every top designer list including the AD100, the Luxe Gold List, and the 1stdibs 50...

18th Century Japanese Rinpa Screen. White Chrysanthemums. School of Korin.
Located in Kyoto, JP
School of Ogata Korin White Chrysanthemums 18th Century, Edo period. A two-panel Japanese screen. Ink, color, gofun and gold leaf on paper. Dimensions: H. 171 cm x W. 188 cm (67.5” x 74”) On this two-panel Japanese screen we see blooming chrysanthemums, a flower which embodies the essence of autumn in Japan. Here the traditional floral theme has been simplified and stylized. The bright colors and asymmetrical composition against the delicate gold leaf create a luxurious and ornate work of art. Its background, a strikingly patinated grid of gold leaf, denies any sense of place or time and imbues everything with an ethereal glow. The leaves and stems of the plants are nothing more than pools of mottled color and ink without any outline whatsoever. These are typical Rinpa adaptations of traditional ink painting methods; tarashikomi, or diluted washes of color blended while very wet, and mokkotsu, or “bonelessness,” which creates forms without exterior outlines. The relief work of the rounded flower petals has been obtained by the moriage process (a mixture based on ground shells modeled on the surface of the paper). On the lower right of the screen, the siganture “Hokyo Korin Jakumyo” and the “Hoshuku” seal can be read. Korin is Ogata Korin, famed for the Irises (Nezu Museum) and Red and White Plum Blossom (MOA Museum of Art) folding screens, both National Treasures. Korin worked in both Kyoto and Edo in the mid-Edo period. Korin was using the art name “Jakumyo” just after he received the Hokyo level, which was in 1701. This particular screen was published in May of 1961 in the Japanese Sansai Fine Art Magazine*. An in depth article accompanies the photograph of the screen and and a photograph of the signature and seal. This article devotes much of its body to discussing the moriage technique, how it enlivens the chrysanthemum flowers and Korin’s specific skill in using the technique. The article goes on to discuss the most famous works of Korin, utilizing this technique, which were known at the time. Specifically a two-panel screen held in the Honolulu Museum which was discovered in the store-house of Takahashi Soan. A two-panel screen pair which the Nakano family own. A two-panel screen pair with chrysanthemums in moriage in fan designs owned by the Nomura family. Also a small folding screen featuring chrysanthemums held in the Yamato Bunkakan. The article goes on to say that this particular two-fold screen came from the Nijo family. Korin is known to have had a strong connection with the aristocratic Nijo family. The article explains that Korin received a lot of favors from the Nijo family and that this screen would have been gifted to them. Since that time the Honolulu screen has been amended to ‘attributed to Ogata Korin’ and I do not know further details of the other 3 screens. Other Chrysanthemum screens...

Antique Hand-Colored Fern Prints - Aspidium Species - 19th Century Botanical Art
Located in Langweer, NL
Antique Hand-Colored Fern Prints - Aspidium Species - 19th Century Botanical Art This rare set of three hand-colored fern prints features detailed illustrations of various species of **Aspidium**. These botanical prints are part of the renowned 19th-century collection, *Ferns: British and Exotic*, showcasing the meticulous botanical artistry of the Victorian period. The ferns illustrated in this set include: - **Aspidium augustescens** (Majestic Shield Fern): This species is known for its symmetrical fronds and graceful appearance. The print showcases the fine detailing of the fern’s structure, capturing the natural elegance of its leaves. - **Aspidium acuminatum** (Pointed Shield Fern): This species is noted for its sharply pointed fronds and dense arrangement of sori (spore clusters). The print emphasizes the intricate texture of the fronds and the distinct shape of the reproductive structures. - **Aspidium proliferum** (Proliferous Shield Fern): This fern is characterized by its broad fronds and ability to produce multiple offshoots. The illustration captures the density and lush growth habit of the species, with precise attention to the arrangement of the spore clusters. These prints come from E.J. Lowe’s famous botanical work, *Ferns: British and Exotic*, which was published between 1856 and 1860. Edward Joseph Lowe was a distinguished Victorian botanist known for his extensive research and beautifully illustrated publications on ferns. His work remains highly regarded for its scientific accuracy and aesthetic quality. The prints were produced using the chromolithography technique, a popular 19th-century printing method that allowed for vibrant, multi-layered color reproduction. This process adds depth and dimension to the prints, creating lifelike images that make these ferns appear almost tangible. Each print measures approximately 12 x 8 inches, making them perfect for framing. Whether you are a botanical art collector, a nature lover, or someone who appreciates vintage prints, this set offers both historical significance and decorative appeal. Condition Report: Overall good condition with light age-related toning around the edges. The colors remain vibrant, and the images are clear and sharp. Keywords: antique fern prints...
