I was browsing through Domino, the book of decorating, when I stumbled across page 131 and realized, "Hey! That's our China! and hold on... those are our candle sticks too!"
The page is dedicated to Sara Ruffin Costello's inspirations behind decorating her kitchen, and it breaks down the important aspects of what she felt were important or inspiring in planning the room. And aparently our product made it into her inspirational "posh bits".
"My blue-and-white wedding china reminded me of Cecil's garden stool and felt like a step in the right direction."
"Without a real dining room, these inherited candlesticks lived in a cabinet. But I pictured them one day as part of a mise-en-scene between plants."
We no longer sell these Paktong candlesticks but we used to. Interesting fact: One of the first Mottahedeh products that Wendy Kvalheim (the owner and President of Mottahedeh) helped create when she bought the company from Mildred Mottahedeh over 20 years ago were these candle sticks which she cast from the original antiques. She too currently ownes the original and the reproduction pieces in her home.
