Global Bazaar style decorative accessories are the epicenter of the whole design tradition, given the countless nomadic tribes and cultures and how easily these decorative pieces are shipped and transported. From trinkets and souvenirs to family heirlooms and religious objects, they are the small details and conversation-starting accents that create a worldly sophistication that tells the story of a life well lived and well traveled. Serene, elegant ceramics add color, texture and functional utility. Devotional forms like the now-iconic seated Buddhas and Buddha heads create a peaceful space with little effort. Tribal arts, in every shade of color and material offer joyful, uninhibited expression and delight. Textile arts play heavily into these decorative accessories, with kilim wool and Suzani needlework figuring prominently.
