An art ornament set inspired by The Met collection. Our golden star and silvery snowflake ornaments celebrate two spectacular shields in The Met's Arms and Armor collection. Our 2024 star honors a spectacular German shield belonging to a small 16th-century garniture (a suit with modifiable elements) forged for the Elizabethan courtier Sir John Smythe (1534-1607). The original shield is stamped with a mark consisting of the letter "A" within a pearled circle on the interior. The exterior is wonderfully etched and gilded, with cartouches featuring allegorical figures of Fortune, Justice, and Fortitude. This year's snowflake adapts the magnificent detailing on an Indian shield, or dhál. Forged in the 19th century, the shield boasts an extraordinary example of the koftgari technique, also known as "false" or "counterfeit" damascening-a term alluding to the Syrian capital of Damascus and the apparent Eastern origins of this technique. While "true" damascening is a complex inlaying process requiring careful undercutting and hammering, the Museum's shield boasts impressive decoration achieved with greater ease: eye-catching designs in gold and silver foil or wire cover a crosshatched steel base. Our Angel Tree Ornament depicts an elegant late 18th-early 19th-century angel from The Met's celebrated Christmas Tree and Neapolitan Baroque Crèche. This popular Museum installation features an 18th-century Neapolitan Nativity scene at the base of the tree, with a host of exquisitely carved and dressed angels soaring in the branches above the Holy Family. The decoration and illumination of this majestic tree is a cherished annual event of the holiday season. This limited-edition ornament trio was produced exclusively for the 2024 holiday season.

Pernambuco wood, octagon, stirling silver garniture

480 pages, fully illustrated in colour and monochrome. Cloth 27.5 x 22.8cms. ISBN: 5935721481. The first complete catalogue of the 18th-century Sèvres porcelain collection in the Hermitage describing in detail 1400 items including services, vases, garnitures, and other decorative items. Includes reproductions of the marks on each piece. Text in Russian and French.

Adrian Saxe, the contemporary Californian ceramist, takes his inspiration from such diverse sources as Chinese bronzes, French porcelain garnitures and American pop culture, to produce pieces which are astonishing and entertaining technical tours de force. Their sumptuous glazes, richly ornate materials and elegant forms are leavened with refreshing doses of humour and post-modernist references to numerous art-historical traditions. A Chinese ritual vessel is topped by a high-heeled shoe; a gilded gourd-shaped jar sprouts Mickey Mouse ears complete with sparkling earstud; an aubergine mutates into a teapot. Occasioned by the 50th birthday of the artist, "The Clay Art of Adrian Saxe" is an survey of his achievement featuring 85 works, many photographed from several angles with enlarged colour views. Authoritative commentary is provided by Martha Drexler Lynn and Jim Collins of Notre Dame University.
