My Favorite Piece
This Royal Dux vase reminds me of the cabinets of curiosities of my childhood. Found at a specialist antique shop, it has held pride of place in my living room ever since, but I'm reorganizing my collection and it deserves a new home.

What Makes It Special

It's a striking piece that immediately catches the eye—perfect as a statement vase for pampas grass, dried eucalyptus, or simply as a decorative sculpture. The forest and animal theme integrates beautifully into a bohemian chic interior, an English cottage, or a classic library.
