Elephant Shantih

Jacqueline Cambata translates imagery and motifs from 16th century Indian Mughal art to the exquisite medium of Limoges porcelain. In fine-pointed detail, with vivid hues and gold accents, Mughal paintings utilize Persian, Indian and European art techniques to tell stories of Emperor Akbar the Great, a lover of nature, science and the arts.

Jacqueline Cambata took inspiration for her designs from this rich tradition, especially its illustrations of natural landscapes and animals. The Shangri-La, Elephant Shantih, Golden Lotus, Nirvana and Paisley Taj collections combine luxurious design and opulent gold, creating a layered image on porcelain with spellbinding detail and dazzling color. Gazelles, Elephants,Leopards, flowers and birds grace the plates. Intricate natural elements complete the scene, creating an elegant backdrop for a feast of the senses.
