Art-inspired gifts for the home.

Lend a touch of artful elegance to your home with this lacquer tray featuring Still Life with Apples and a Pot of Primroses (ca. 1890) by Paul Cézanne (French, 1839–1906). This celebrated artwork—formerly in the personal collection of the Impressionist painter and passionate gardener, Claude Monet (French, 1840–1926)—is regarded as one of Cézanne’s finest still lifes of the 1890s. It was rare for the artist to depict flowering plants as he does here, which were susceptible to wilting during his careful process.
