The Masons Suite features an antique china design, inspired by the British potter Charles James Mason, who patented Ironstone in 1813 – so popular was it, that by the mid-19th century a variety of ironstone types were being produced with the name subsequently becoming generic.
Ironstone designs were largely inspired by Chinese export porcelain, and often featured Chinese landscapes containing over-blown peonies, using cobalt blue and rust red in the classic ironstone pallete. The china on the Mason’s Dining suite echo’s these antique designs with the floral landscape, in cobalt, red and turquise with hand gilded edges.
The table and chairs suite comes with all the accessories – a large masons design urn on rococco style china base, with crystal dishes to each side. On the corners of the table are a selection of crystal condiment pots and dishes. On the table, there are two glasses and four pieces of cutlery per place setting (plus plate!) mahogany chairs are upholstered in a rich red and pink striped silk with matching braid to pick up on the colours on the china and match the rich mahogany colour of the wood.
Also shown in the pictures is the matching masons corinthian buffet, available separately in the buffets section of the website shop.
(Please note these are exclusive designs – I make the chairs, ornaments, plates and condiments and hand decorate and apply all the detailing and gilding myself)
The TABLE measures: 150mm long x 90mm wide and 65mm tall (excluding its contents)
