The Definition of Luxury

In a bygone era, Kings and Queens commissioned the finest craftsmen to create their objects of luxury, from furniture for their private apartments to a clock for the Great Hall. A royal commission was the mark of a master: if a piece was fit for a King or Queen, its artistry was beyond question. This remains our interpretation of true luxury today.
