Estate gemstones in vintage cuts and settings refresh the wardrobe; and a statement accessory serves as an investment in style—whether it be a rare diamond peacock brooch or a Birkin (or two) from the house of Hermès. For the man of the house, the geometric lines of a graphic salakot, a classic table lighter or carved bastons introduce a sophisticated swagger to a gentleman’s corner.
Fine prints and drawings from National Artist Jose Joya, Mauro Malang Santos, and Salvador Dalí, among others, refresh an empty nook for every change in season. Abstracted shapes and color field compositions are uniquely paired with the primitivism of fine Ifugao bululs. Classical sculptures and intricate cartography that pay homage to bygone eras set the stage for plotting adventures when paired with oversized furniture such as a pair of butaca armchairs; while a sophisticated late 19th century narra comoda adorned with bone inlay finds a perfect complement in the post-impressionism of Galo Ocampo, the festive cubism of National Artist Ang Kiukok, and the stunning drapery of National Artist BenCab.
