Anglo-Japanese

KITCHEN The ceiling by Bradbury & Bradbury Art Wallpapers sets an Aesthetic tone in the kitchen, which became an odyssey into Anglo–Japanese design and its whimsies. Low Art Tile clocks with sparrows and flowers occupy countertops, where one might expect a mixer. The table is laid with transferware plates depicting ducks and cherry blossoms; Gorham sterling flatware, with handles imitating Japanese bronzes, crawl with bugs and butterflies. • Anglo-Japanese table settings include polychromed, French transferware plates and Gorham sterling ‘Kozuka’ flatware with bronze handles inspired by Japanese kozuka (short, decorative blades often attached to longer swords). • On the wall, an assortment of brown-and-white, Aesthetic Movement transferware tiles have gilded, late-19th-century frames.
