Congratulations to Andrew Zega and Bernd Dams from
Architectural Watercolors for being listed as one of
Architectural Digest's discoveries!
Andrew and Bernd have created a series of four holiday card sets which include Chinoiserie Pagodas, Garden Tents, Treillage Pavilions and Silver & Gold; read more on that at their blog
NOTED.
I ordered a number of their cards a few years ago and I can testify that they are of incredibly high quality. Whenever I give one with a gift to mark a special occasion I'm always told how beautiful the cards are. A lot of people actually have them framed!
I first started following these talented guys a few years ago when they released one of their many books (on
Versailles) and also bought a few of their paper folly lanterns (which they hope to put back into production again). I'm happy to say I plan on meeting up with Andrew and Bernd while in Paris next month and hope to bring you some tidbits from them upon my return!

I saw these last week and did not buy them because I know I could never sully them by writing on them and then send them away. They are just too wonderful.
Kerry, I know! I bought a huge stack of them a few years ago and find I can't bring myself to use my favorite ones! If I had the wallspace I would definitely be framing them.
Oh that's wonderful! I would love a collection of them framed. Thanks for the tip!!
They look perfect for framing.
These are beautiful! Definitely keepers if you're lucky enough to receive one.
Truly fabulous!
Classicist -high on my list of things to own when my 'ship' comes in are a Bagues chandelier, Maison Jansen furniture and a 'few' original watercolors by these Gentlemen!
If I had the wallspace, I could see a great gallery wall of these watercolors with french mattes in simple black frames. As it is I have so much art NOT hung and my wallspace is literally full salon style! Maybe I should consider framing the cards as gifts!
Ooh, I love these, and you gave me the idea to frame them!
My dream is to one day, build a Chinoiserie Folly. That will be my final, foray, into construction territory.
Maybe you can design it? lol.
I'm not kidding.
Cheers,
Donna
