Another magnificent item that I have just recently discovered in Australia are these stunning decorative bowls. Add luxury to your home by arranging a group of them on a coffee or console table, or even scatter them around the house from room to room. They come in a set of 3, with the largest being 28cm in diameter. The metal spirals form a fluid shape that allow the bowl to be beautiful on its own, or place them with some other decorative accessories around them to compliment the piece.

I picked these exquisite Santorini patterned planters up whilst I was travelling through Vietnam recently; the country is such a fantastic source of beautiful products and inspires me constantly! Perfect for either inside the home or to smarten up your terrace, these fantastic items are now available in 3 sizes from our boutique - their intricated carved detail are a credit to the craftspeople of Vietnam and they're definitely worth dropping by the boutique to have a look.

Always exciting to use large scale art to add drama and interest to an interior. Seldom do you find big dramatic pieces that are also beautiful and soulful, I love the work of Alison Watt - see her exhibition 'shift' at the Scottish National Gallery - for this rare quality.

I'm currently overseas on a sourcing trip in Australasia seeking lots of new and beautiful things for my shop on Walton Street. One of my latest finds
has been these gorgeous intricate hand carved Jade Napkin Rings lined with sterling silver. The perfect detail of this carving even for Chinese standards is so rare to find these days. Each knapkin ring is so perfectly carved that you can actually twist the napkin ring round without either side touching. The come in a a set of twelve in a decorative silk box. They will make a great addition to any dinner table or a special gift for a good friend.

I am having an exciting time abroad sourcing new things for the Boutique.

I came across this beautiful Tea Set Solid Sterling Silver Dragon Design when I was in southern china.

Being solid sterling silver, it has a good quality weight to it. It is an exquisite piece that could be saved for use at that special occasion yet it is robust enough to use for everyday afternoon tea. Seems a shame to hide it away and not to use it all the time!

Why not come and see it for yourself at our exclusive showroom on Walton Street. We look forward to seeing you.
