<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Also included in the sale were a pair of Herter Brothers ballroom chairs.

<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">I really dislike Degas. What can I say, pastel Ballerinas just don't do it for me. However, mythological/biblical images of women with scarlet ibises really peak my interest. I vaguely remember reading some short story in middle school about a scarlet ibis, and ever since then I've always loved these bizarrely shaped red birds.</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">I stumbled upon this painting a few weeks ago at work while doing some research and have been fascinated since. It's in the collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art and dates from the early 1860s. Degas made sketches for this painting in Rome between 1857-58. Between 1860-62 he added the ibises. The Met's description mentions that he also added similar birds to his historical painting "Semiramis Building Babylon" around the same time (I don't see the birds, google it and check for yourself. However, be warned- the name is more impressive than the actual painting which leaves MUCH to be desired). </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">When I was little we would visit my grandfather in rural upcountry Georgia. Nearby there was a relatively impressive antebellum house that I loved not only because of its unique architectural features, but also because of the peacocks that lived on the property. So naturally, I'm completely in love with this circa 1830 workbox in the form of a peacock. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">I know I've been negligent with Sybaritic, but I thought I would show everyone one of my favorite places to visit while on my evening runs, Elsie de Wolfe's Irving Place home.

<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Tragically the basement of the house is home to a Japanese restaurant and the rest of the building has been divided into apartments. I'm not sure I'd like to live in this area, but it would be amazing to be able to live in a space that was once home to one of the 20th century's most influential interior decorators.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Wednesday evening I was lucky enough to attend the opening of the Metro Show at the Metropolitan Pavilion. The show was heavily folk art (not my favorite), but with some other pieces thrown in for diversity. Here are my some of my favorite objects from the show...</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">This iron snake was by far my favorite piece... it's coloration, scale (it was probably 3 feet long), and sense of movement all added to its appeal. I would be more than willing to let him move in with me...</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">A set of 12 19th century watercolors of masks from China's Peking Opera... I'm not necessarily one for Asian art, but these are amazing. </span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">I was at the Chelsea Flower Market... it's a place I've been often since I've been in New York. It's amazing what you can find in some of these stores... any type of Chinese glittered butterfly, to the most interesting exotic plants (we bought sprouted coconuts this morning for a project), to just generally attractive flowers... although I hate waking up early, at least I was looking at something beautiful. </span></div>JWChttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11188661357305138356noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8101301195077947672.post-89890274663724636602012-01-08T20:10:00.000-08:002012-01-08T20:10:46.205-08:00A Handful of Dust and Carlton Towers<div style="text-align: center;">
