For centuries, they’ve appeared on everything from hand-painted wallpapers to fine porcelain. Movement, beauty and awe inspiring nature come together in these timeless pieces for your walls, tables and everywhere in between.
Parrots Moderne Fabric (Price upon request)
Many Schumacher prints are inspired by nature, but not all are as energetic as Parrots Moderne, part of the brand’s Rhythm in Motion collection that draws inspiration from Art Deco and the Schumacher archives. Available in two colors, dove and sandstone, it is a large-scale botanical bird design on a silk cotton blend that gives it a subtle sheen. See it in person at the brand’s ADAC showroom.

Oiseau Pitcher ($150)
While Tory Burch has been quietly focusing on clean lines and more modern silhouettes in clothing, the tabletop collection is decidedly traditional, such as this 8-inch glazed terracotta pitcher depicting abstract birds in a background of leaves. This hand-painted piece comes in three colors, white/green, brown and blue, and looks just as good as a water jug as it does a vase for fresh-cut flowers.
