We are an online-only luxury furniture and lighting boutique, and do not have a warehouse. Consequently, all orders are drop shipped directly from our manufacturers to your door. If your order includes items from more than one manufacturer, you will receive multiple deliveries. Because we are dependent on the on-hand inventory of our manufacturing partners, some items listed on our site may not actually be available right away. Please call us at 888.784.4644 or via our contact form with any stocking questions and we'll get in touch with the appropriate manufacturer for answers, before you place your order.Ground Shipping
Small parcel items ship regular ground via delivery services such as FedEx, UPS or DHL. Orders typically take 2-3 business days to process and in-stock items will usually be delivered 3-5 days from the date that they ship (depending on origin and destination). If there is a delay, you will be notified by email. No signature is required for standard ground shipping, so you may want to make arrangements to have packages brought inside soon after delivery, if you are unable to receive it in person.Composition and care

We speak a lot about the importance of gut health—not only for beauty—but also in terms of our overall health, wellbeing and immunity. But before we can fully understand why the gut is so integral to our health, it’s first essential to learn more about the physiology of the gut itself—and how it works.

El Sueño
(The Dream)
Signed and numbered 4/6
Bronze
Representing one of Fernando Botero’s most coveted subjects and executed at the height of his sculptural mastery, El Sueño captures the Colombian master’s distinctive vision in three-dimensional form. Created in 1996, this rare bronze exemplifies Botero’s unparalleled ability to transform his signature volumetric style into tactile reality, embodying his belief that “sculptures permit me to create real volume… one can give them smoothness, the sensuality that one wants.”
Botero’s extraordinary technique gives the reclining female figure an almost impossibly soft quality that invites contemplation of both physical and spiritual beauty. Her serene expression and graceful positioning convey the peaceful state of dreaming, while the delicate bird perched upon her form is one of Botero’s most beloved natural motifs. Every curve and contour reveals Botero’s commitment to creating what he described as “the new reality that you create” through sculpture.
Fernando Botero achieved international recognition unmatched by any other Latin American artist of his generation, with his works residing in the collections of major institutions, including the Metropolitan Museum of Art and the Museum of Modern Art in New York. Another edition of this sculpture, El Sueño, belongs to the Museo Botero, an entire museum dedicated to the artist’s legacy in Bogotá. Botero’s sculptures also consistently command the highest prices in his market, with three of his four top auction records brought by monumental bronzes.
Inspired by his exposure to Renaissance masters during his travels in Italy in the 1950s, Botero began sculpting in the 1960s and became so devoted to the medium that he completely abandoned painting between 1976 and 1977. His sculptural oeuvre represents the ultimate expression of his artistic philosophy, allowing him to give physical presence to his distinctive vision of beauty and exaggerated proportions. Following the artist’s death in 2023, his market has experienced exponential growth, with collectors and institutions recognizing the enduring significance of his contribution to contemporary sculpture.
