The 24K gold tree <a href="http://www.telegraph.co.uk/topics/christmas/3541432/Worlds-most-expensive-Christmas-tree-on-display.html">glistens with 240 jewels including diamond baubles and a string of pearls</a> bringing its value to &pound;1 million. Sitting in Ginza Tanaka jewelry shop, it luxuriously beckons patrons to keep the holiday shopping spirit alive even with the gloom of tough economic times. Mimicked after a fir with five golden tiers it took four filigree artists three months to fashion the 1.5 meter tall tree. The glittering pine will remain on display until Christmas Day after which it will be available for purchase.<br /><br />[via <a href="http://rinkya.blogspot.com/2008/12/worlds-most-expensive-christmas-tree.html">A Rinkya Blog</a>]<br /><br />%Gallery-38393%<p style="padding:5px;background:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.luxist.com/2008/12/03/worlds-most-expensive-christmas-tree/">World's Most Expensive Christmas Tree </a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.luxist.com">Luxist</a> on Wed, 03 Dec 2008 10:02:00 EST.

Taking historically significant European and North American buildings and their interiors and re-creating them at <a href="http://www.mulvanyandrogers.com/index.php">one-twelfth of their size</a> these little wonders include Hampton Court, Versailles and Buckingham Palace. They even recently sold a miniature version of Harry Potter's Hogwarts! Their online store currently has two pieces for sale: Gothik House and Georgian Rectory for &pound;10,000 and &pound;9,000 respectively which gives you just a taste of their creative abilities.

The sought-after furniture has been produced in a limited edition of six pieces per model, exclusive to Moss. The <a href="http://www.mossonline.com/product-exec/product_id/44361/category_id/484">Rosewood bench</a>, above, will be available through Moss, price upon request.<br /><br />Studio Job was last in the news at Christie's Post-war and Contemporary Art sale, where an ebony and laser-cut maple bench from its Perished Collection <a href="http://www.christies.com/lotfinder/lot_details.aspx?pos=2&amp;intObjectID=5128297&amp;sid=">reached a final price of over $95,000</a>.

See the gallery to view all five.<br /><br />The Barrel, as you can see, is modeled after Wright's famous "<a href="http://architecture.about.com/od/findproductsservices/ss/chairs_2.htm">Barrel Chair</a>," and the Hexagon's story is even more intriguing. From the press release:<br /><br /> <em>The "Hexagon" also reveals an uncanny, historic connection between Replogle and Frank Lloyd Wright. Volker shares: "Just after Replogle became a licensee and they were working on the first five prototypes, I made a trip to the Price Tower in Bartlesville, Oklahoma. While touring the building, we entered the office that was occupied by Mr. Price. In a triangular corner across from his desk was a large globe resting on a trapezoid, copper stand designed by Mr. Wright. The story goes that Mr. Price wanted a large wall map placed in his office. Mr. Wright convinced him that he should have a beautiful globe and stand to match the other design elements in the room instead. Well, Mr. Wright prevailed. As we rotated the original globe, we noticed the manufacturer was Replogle Globes. It was like an endorsement."</em><br /><br />These beautiful globes will be available at high-end specialty stores and online stores.

And since large serving platters aren't as prone to being broken or worn out by daily use it seems worthwhile to invest in one you'll be proud to show off on special occasions like <a href="http://www.luxist.com/tag/Thanksgiving/">Thanksgiving</a> and other gatherings for years to come. So what kind of platter will go best with your Turkey Day tabletop decor?

But I still enjoy browsing and <a href="http://www.joerger.de/">these latest designs from Joerger</a> are as pretty as any I've seen. You can go classic and opt for silver hardware with clear or frosted crystal knobs, or more modern and styled by choosing colored crystal in one of five hues including the red shown here. No matter which you choose, they're sure to make a statement of luxury and refinement in your bathroom. <br /><br />Via <a href="http://www.trendir.com/archives/002657.html">Trendir</a><br />%Gallery-37117%<p style="padding:5px;background:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.luxist.com/2008/11/19/joerger-crystal-bath-faucets/">Joerger Crystal Bath Faucets</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.luxist.com">Luxist</a> on Wed, 19 Nov 2008 11:02:00 EST.

His playful and often strange designs have won fans around the world. While not a household name quite yet (he's only 34, give him time), he has worked on some interesting exhibitions and collaborations. His works with Lladro embody the viewpoint that he expressed in a <a href="http://property.timesonline.co.uk/tol/life_and_style/property/interiors/article5009858.ece">recent interview that good design</a> "has to communicate with the user. It has to have a personality and some fantasy."<a href="http://www.lladro.com/"> Lladro </a>which is known for its rather traditional ceramics, has stepped into another world with <a href="http://www.hayonstudio.com/project.php?id=42">Hayon's Fantasy Collection</a>. The pieces have a unique charm, taking cues from tarot cards, the circus and surrealism but with a gentle and naturalistic touch.

For two hours you can peruse four separate spaces each defined by a designer of distinction and representing one of four magazines: Veranda, O at Home, House Beautiful and Town &amp; Country. The apartments on display were created with a specific, imagined resident in mind and speaks to that chosen character's interests. You can also catch these stunning living spaces in upcoming issues of their respective magazine. Tickets cost <a href="https://www.brownpapertickets.com/event/47156">$30 plus tax </a>and are available for two-hour time blocks on a first-come, first served basis. My personal favorite is the Town &amp; Country space -- so elegant yet equally welcoming.<br /><br />For more specific information on The Laurel read on <a href="http://www.breitbart.com/article.php?id=prnw.20081105.NY44003&amp;show_article=1">here</a>.<br /><br />%Gallery-36757%<p style="padding:5px;background:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.luxist.com/2008/11/14/the-laurel-in-nyc-offers-designer-open-house/">The Laurel in NYC Offers Designer Open House</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.luxist.com">Luxist</a> on Fri, 14 Nov 2008 09:02:00 EST.

Sure I have a cashmere dress coat, sweaters and scarves but wouldn't it be lovely to snuggle beneath a cashmere throw in a cozy corner of your home? Bamford's <a href="http://www.lussorian.com/luxury/comments/luxury-blankets-expensive-or-what/2008-10-22/">handwoven blanket made of Altai cashmere</a> from the borders of Mongolia and Tibet is the perfect gift for anyone on your list this holiday season. This pricey throw is hand-dyed using pomegranate, juniper and aloe-vera keeping the fiber's natural essence intact. Currently you can choose between a stone color with finished edge, cream color with tassled edge, or cream and brown weave with tassled edge for &pound;950 (approximately $1,700).<p style="padding:5px;background:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.luxist.com/2008/11/11/bamford-cashmere-throw/">Bamford Cashmere Throw</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.luxist.com">Luxist</a> on Tue, 11 Nov 2008 12:02:00 EST.

Their products not only smell beautiful, but they look beautiful as well, and truly enrich the splendor of any well-decorated room. We covered them last March when they began carrying the <a href="http://www.luxist.com/2008/03/26/the-michael-s-smith-collection-for-agraria/">Michael S Smith collection</a>, which quickly became a major name in home fragrance.<br /><br />Newly included in the prestigious Bergdorf Goodman's Home Decor Catalogue, the Villa Potpourri Boxes above have a gentle rustic look and scent. The potpourri box is a perfect way to release fragrance into a room while protecting it from dust bunnies. You can also purchase the Villa Potpourri Boxes <a href="http://www.agrariahome.com/products/product.php?cPath=37">here on the Agraria website</a> for $150 to $325.

Every single item looks like the featured item in the room, and yet together, the pieces don't look garish or over the top. Even those chandeliers seem classic and understated when complemented with the warm chairs and dark wood.<br /><br />The Atlantique Collection is aptly named, as many of these items look as though they belong on a yacht or cruise ship; there is a strong element of maritime heritage in the shapes and smooth surfaces. Visit the <a href="http://www.florencecollections.it/#">Florence Collections website</a> for a look at more of this and other collections.<br /><br />[via <a href="http://www.homedesignfind.com/interiors/the-atlantique-collection-from-florence-collections/">Home Design Find</a>]<p style="padding:5px;background:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.luxist.com/2008/10/22/the-atlantique-collection-from-florence-collections/">The Atlantique Collection from Florence Collections</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.luxist.com">Luxist</a> on Wed, 22 Oct 2008 08:02:00 EST.
