Go east

Oriental tales, myths and legends conceal a lot of interesting and unknown. Oriental traditions of hospitality, leisureliness, love for plentiful and beautifully decorated feasts have long become fashionable and are not going to leave it. So this fall, thanks to the holy month of Ramadan for Muslims with its evening meals with friends and relatives and the next series of holidays, we pay special attention to the various "oriental" collections of tableware, appliances and textiles to decorate the table and house in Charming and unforgettable style. Like in the tales of "1000 and one night."

Perhaps the richest selection of luxurious decor items: candlesticks, photo frames, vases, dishes and silverware for any occasion is presented in Tanagra stores where you can buy porcelain, crystal, silver from such world famous brands as Christofle, Baccarat, Bernardaud, Jay Strongwater, Lladro and Versace.

A wide variety of styles - from classical to modern, from Arabic to Baroque - will inspire you to create your own, unique and elegant interior. Especially for the celebration of Ramadan and its end, the designers presented porcelain coffee sets consisting of traditional Arabian Dalla coffee pots and miniature cup-bowls decorated with delicate floral ornaments. They can bring oriental charm even to a regular dinner. Moreover, you can get a similar coffee set, created specifically for the Tanagra chain of stores, as a gift. To do this, you just need to purchase something to decorate your holiday table in the same store.

If you like light pastel colors, pay attention to the Bernardaud Dune Bleu table porcelain collection, which fits perfectly into the classic table setting with a snow-white linen tablecloth, silverware, napkin rings and accessories.

Great dragon and goddess Lamassu

The company Lladro plunges into the world of the ancient sacraments of the East and its most striking legends, presenting in its high porcelain collections delightful statues of magic dragons Majestic Dragons, symbolizing imperial power, strength and wealth in the countries of the Far East, and the goddess Lamassu (Lama), who was considered to be a Sumerian Akkadian mythology is a good patroness and protector, the bearer of a person’s personality. The ancients believed that everyone has their Lama. Sculptural images of Lamassu guarded the entrances to the palaces of the rulers during the Neo-Assyrian Empire (883-612 BC), they were found in ancient Babylon. Initially, Lamassu was portrayed as a winged lion with a human (male!) Head and five legs (two front left, one of which is hidden behind the right when viewed from the side), in the late period - as a motionless winged person. The Lladro team opted for the first option, presenting the magnificent Lamassu figure in golden, blue, turquoise and bronze colors, thereby paying tribute to the art of Ancient Mesopotamia.

Luxurious bright scarlet dragons from the Majectic Dragons collection are presented in a special "oriental red" color created by Lladro specialists. The masters also created two blue dragons: one of them is covered with intense layers of enamel, the other with golden gloss, partially covered with glossy and matte glaze. All figures from the Lladro high porcelain collections are in limited editions. You can buy them at Tanagra chain stores.
