Today is Valentines Day - a special day set aside to express love to those dear to us.
Red is the color of love, perhaps because it is a deep, passionate color. Red gets our attention, whether in roses, rubies, or red velvet cake and strawberries!
A red convertible gets all the notice from the girls, and a red front door sets your home apart.
Tradition calls for gifts for our valentines. Home furnishings can be a great gift for this day because a carefully chosen piece will be in your home for many years to come. Long after the chocolates have been eaten and the flowers have faded, your home furnishings will continue to add function and style to your home.
Each table in this set of four has a top in one of the shapes of the four card suits. Inlaid in red leather with brass playing card accents, they are perfect for the game room. Small and lightweight, they can easily be moved where needed when friends gather.
Shanghai red lacquer is the finish for this handsome writing desk with bamboo motif and inlaid leather on the top and shelves. Custom made antique brass finished pagoda-shaped pulls finish the piece.
Painted Shanghai red with hand-painted blossoms, the trunk has generous hardware created in our foundry by the centuries old lost-wax brass casting process. A gorgeous accent piece, it also is functional with storage.
For your valentine, consider a gift of home furnishings to show your love. Who knows, you may be rewarded with even more red - red lipstick kisses, that is.
