DOUBLE BEAUTY FOR YOUR TABLE NOW

We toast to Beautiful Doubles today as we move through our salute to Gemini week, with a BN curated-for-beauty collection of tabletop duos, from magnificent pairs of goblets to candlesticks, and more. Check them out below...

1. MOCHA SET --- MEISSEN

A mocha set for two is a sweet idea, made even more opulent covered in sculptured forget-me-nots. This gorgeous Rococo set, made by Meissen (circa 1840-1850) is handmade, of the finest porcelain. The set includes a lidded mocha pot, lidded sugar bowl, lidded creamer, 2 cups with saucers, and tray.

2. DOUBLE WINE GOBLET  --- RON ARAD

This Double Wine Goblet, designed by Ron Arad, the Israeli-born, London-based designer, for the Pasabahce Nude Glass collection is genius. Capable of holding red or white, depending on which way you turn the glass, this double is ready to match whatever you fancy.

Available at Amara.

3. BABYBOOP TAPAS BOWL --- RON ARAD

Ron Arad delivered double beauty again in his Babyboop Tapas Bowl, designed for Alessi. This divided serving dish sports sensual curves, showing off the contrasting polished mirror and matte finishes of 18/10 stainless steel.

Available at Bloomingdales.

4. BABYBOOP VASE --- RON ARAD

Double delight continues in Arad’s Babyboop vase. We <3 <3 it!

Available at Hive.

5. DANDELION SERVING SET --- MICHAEL ARAM

This delicate dandelion serving set, designed by Michael Aram is one of our favorites, however these are now hard to find. Beautiful gold plating gleams against blackened steel and oxidized bronze. Scout them out in museum collections.

Watch for future availability.

6. POMEGRANATE SALT & PEPPER SET --- MICHAEL ARAM

In a motif that has become iconic for designer Michael Aram, this Pomegranate Salt & Pepper Set, in gold, represents life, rebirth, renewal, and union.

Available at Bloomingdales.

7. WATER HYACINTH CANDLE HOLDERS --- MICHAEL ARAM

Michael Aram’s Water Hyacinth Candle Holders are part of the designer’s 25th Anniversary Collection. Cast in bronze,  these candle holders are based on an archived design.

Available at Macy’s.

8.  PAIR: MODERNIST TEARDROP VASES --- BOHEMIA

This exquisite pair of Modernist Teardrop Vases, made of Bohemian hand-blown glass, hails from the 1950’s.

Amber glass centers, clear bases, with blue and violet sides, makes for a brilliant duo. Made in the former Czechoslovakia (the Czech Republic).

9. PAIR: VENETIAN MURANO GOBLETS --- SEGUSO

This pair of Early Venetian Glass Multicolored Latticino & Gold Aventurine Goblets is a double joy. Multicolored canes, interspersed with white crisscross Latticino dazzle. The gold aventurine swan stems are a delicate yet opulent flourish. Designed by Seguso for Salviati. Circa 1950’s.

Available at 1st Dibs.

10. PAIR: EXOTIC BIRD SCULPTURES --- ALFREDO BARBINI

This exquisite pair of Venetian/Murano glass Birds of Paradise sculptures show off luscious swirls of amethyst, rose and turquoise, in perfect harmony. The birds face each other, sitting atop gold leaf infused perches. Made by Alfredo Barbini, circa 1950's.
