Heirloom Anthology
Preserving Cultures, Sustaining Lives.
Savor traditions ancient and enduring, re-envisioned to accent your style. It’s a time for gathering—of friends and family, styles and centuries. Skilled artisans sustain their craft by passing from one generation to the next, adapting form and color to contemporary taste. Multicultural references add depth and intricacy to functional creations. Pieces in this collection echo time-honored motifs and methods sustained through centuries. Reverse-painted glass, etched ceramics and intricate embroidery add a touch of timeless elegance. Warm-toned metallics feature etched designs and antique finishes—evoking the patina of age through artful innovation. Basketry, wood and stone add to the saturated warmth of the entire collection. Classic motifs infuse Heirloom Anthology with a sense of permanence and intrigue.
