VICTORIAN CHRISTMAS Placemats

Victorian Christmas Collection

Between the elegance of the Victorian Era and the sweetness of Christmas, the three Franco-British sisters Chaboceau – Caroline, Eliza, and Mary – lived through the Christmas season with a grace nearly cinematic. Caroline, the eldest, was obstinate about organisation, aligning each napkin with the utmost precision; Mary, with a wandering spirit, brought small gifts, wrapped in parchment paper; Eliza, with the serenity that soothes a home, wrapped the presents and prepared the tea, savouring every story that time could tell.

The house glittered with the glow of decorations, postcards, and sweets that, in those days, made Christmas a celebration of sociability and sharing. The drawing-room was a showroom of china and lace, where the murmur of conversations mingled with the scent of pine resin and the sweetness of custard cream. Each napkin, adorned with festive motifs, seemed to offer an invitation to a nostalgic sweetness that the VICTORIAN CHRISTMAS collection so well captured.

Thus, Caroline, Mary, and Eliza wandered the streets, between London, which shimmered under gaslight, and Paris, which hovered on the horizon of the heart, celebrating a tradition that time does not erase: Christmas as sociability, exchange of gifts, and sharing. And, beneath the moonlight that caresses the ice, the sisters pledged to keep living the magic with the same charm their stories held, preserving the dignity and glamour of the nineteenth century in every gesture and in every wrap.

The pieces of the VICTORIAN CHRISTMAS collection are a limited-edition edution.
