Antique Hand Painted Art Porcelain 

Our Ruby Lane shop has a beautiful selection of hand painted art porcelain (my personal favorite to collect). These pieces add such elegance to your home and are truly one of a kind. Pickard Studios perfected the art porcelain market. But, at the turn of the 20th Century, hand painting porcelain was a much loved hobby of ladies and gentlemen. Many dowry china sets were all hand painted. Some of these pieces have survived and are wonderful to display and appreciate as part of history.

Shop Victoria's Curio on Ruby Lane to find a timeless, hand painted, porcelain treasure.

Great Place to Visit 

The Biltmore Castle and Inn - Ashville, North Carolina

This country retreat, built for George Washington Vanderbilt III, is located in the scenic Appalachian mountains in western North Carolina in the town of Asheville, known in the late nineteenth century as a health resort. This large estate was planned as self-supporting with gardens, a nursery, farms, and forests surrounding the estate. The name Biltmore derives from "Bildt," Vanderbilt's ancestors' place of origin in Holland, and "More," Anglo-Saxon for open, rolling land.

The large house was modeled on the French Renaissance chateau, with these characteristic features: steeply pitched roofs, towers, turrets, and extensive sculptural ornamentation. As John M. Bryan explains (alluding to the work of Mark Girouard), this style was "the Nouveau Riche style" of the third quarter of the nineteenth century in England and Victorians were attracted to the skyline silhouette of this dramatic style (41-42). Hunt and Vanderbilt had in fact visited a number of these estates in both France and England and they were especially impressed by Waddesdon Manor in Buckinghamshire (1877-83), which was one of the principal sources for the east elevation of Biltmore Estate. Size was also important, for this residence is the largest private house in the United States. According to official publications, this country estate has 4 acres of floor space, 255 rooms, and 43 bathrooms.

More information can be found here at http://www.biltmore.com/stay/inn/
