The collections focus on exotic heirloom quality pieces in a series of tilt-top tables, butler and folding tables with removable nesting trays and lazy susans. The paintings are of bucolic jungles and mountain scenes featuring monkeys, leopards, tropical underwater seascapes and birds and butterflies, and all are meticulously hand-painted and carved by master artisans using sustainable teak and mahogany woods. MJD’s home accessories line has launched with objet d’art wine buckets with more items to follow in the fall of 2020, right in time for the holiday season.
What makes the themed collections covetable as one-of-a-kind pieces is the process, craftsmanship and multifunctionality of the range. The illustrations are executed by an in-house artist, then painstakingly painted on to gessoed wood by a master artist - a 16th-century technique which requires 9 to 12 brushstrokes to produce the equivalent of one brushstroke on canvas. Each piece takes up to four weeks to complete.
