A stunning new piece for the Hollywood Regency setup for the fireplace has arrived.
And it is glorious:
It makes an excellent addition to the recently arrived pedestal bowl, and our inherited Scales of Justice.
I have coveted a Wexford ashtray stand since my early collecting days, shortly after discovering the measly five pages dedicated to Wexford in Fire-King & More. Gene Florence’s book created as many questions as it answered, but it did offer this:
I am delighted at how happy I am with the one I found versus my original inspiration: more ornate metal components, faceted crystal baubles, the large Wexford ashtray…
I expect to rewire the crystal baubles so they lie more consistently around the stand, but I’m sure I already have everything I need on-hand.
I am approaching my goal of a mantle-wide Hollywood Regency vignette, and I am living for it!
