拍品专文

The understated but elegant design of this service is named after Scheherazade, the fabled wife of the mythical Persian king Shahryar. The characters derive from One Thousand and One Nights, a compilation of Middle Eastern folk tales. King Shahryar, heartbroken by infidelity, arranges that each new wife he takes should be killed the next day—until he marries the beautiful and clever Scheherazade. Knowing her life is at risk, Scheherazade spends each night telling her husband a thrilling tale with a cliff-hanger. The king is so enthralled by her storytelling that each morning he puts off her death to find out what happens next – this pattern continues for 1,001 nights. The story was further popularized by the Russian symphonic suite bearing her name, composed by Nikolai Andreyevich Rimsky-Korsakov in 1888. As such, this service is perfectly suited to set the table for your own storied evenings.
