Cheval d'Orient - ultimate indulgence





















Had received call from the store that this renowned Hermès tableware collection called Cheval d’Orient, will be discontinued and shipped out from here in Singapore.



My fascination with the french fine porcelain collections is beyond imagination.......
Particularly, the inspiration from porcelain found in the Adrien Dubouché National Museum, Limoges and objects displayed in the Emile Hermès collection were collectively designed to produce the most exotic ware.  The sight of these  stallions, mares and foals galloping into my mind is fantastic.

It is more a courtly art pieces
Under the hand of the skilled artists, the depiction of ornate polychromatic patterns, the Persian miniaturist style (late Sixteenth to early Seventeenth Century) and the fine lines of gold painted by hand, burnished under the great old tradition are indeed a feast for the eyes. 
.............and this is my most important decision i would need to make within days, before it disappears into my dream forever.
