Christmas at Wilderstein

It is approaching Christmas once again at Wilderstein and in keeping with the recent snowfalls in the Northeast, Geoff created a giant snow-filled panorama that references the natural surrounding and landscapes of Wilderstein. Sitting atop the mountain of snow covered 19th century ballroom furniture, sits a small replica of the Wilderstein mansion. An evergreen forest cascades down, much like an exagerated bird's eye view of the historic site. Look carefully and you'll see a few miniature people climbing the hill and enjoying the view, or perhaps a decorated christmas tree and its miniature admirers as well as Santa with his reindeer launching off the chair!














and

HAPPY HOLIDAYS!

Holiday de Porthault

This year's Christmas at D. Porthault windows on Park avenue celebrate the season with a Christmas tree shaped white custom-made etagere designed by Geoff. The front surface of the unit is decorated with sculpted paper leaves, scrolls and ribbons. The floor is hand painted with a similar motif in white and gold.  Filling the shelves are the latest in Porthault's beautiful hand embroidered sheets, and custom color-coordinated terry towels and candles. Behind the unit a cascade of traditional Christmas lights add a touch of holiday sparkle and cheer.
