Ancient Silver

Indian style furniture tends to have a lot of sculpting, color, design, fabrics, textiles and detail. In order to fuse Indian furniture with the concept of modern furniture, it's important to keep it simple without too much fru fru. This can involve a lot of editing when it comes to shopping for Indian furniture, as Indian style design pieces tend to have a lot of personality and flair.

Many modern furniture stores have reproduced antique Indian furniture pieces, focusing on the rustic influence it has. To keep it modern, it's important to focus on certain elements of Indian style furniture and decor to capture the right look for your modern home. Here are some ways to capture modern minimalism with the historical essence of Indian culture.

Solid purples and reds

These two colors seem to capture the essence of the Indian style best. Knowing how to sift through the amazing color palette of Indian style furniture and decor is not easy and involves a certain design discipline. Keep in mind purples and reds for a chic, opulent look. In order to keep it modern, it's best to stay consistent with one color and fabric and not get too wild with too many colors.

Velvets and silks

Dated back into ancient times, Indian style has always utilized velvet and silks in its fabric and the upholstery of its furniture. Dark purple velvet cushioning lining the sofa or bright red silk pillows on the bed add a certain bourgeois feeling to the home you are decorating. There is a sense of royalty and nobility while eyeing or sitting on a velvet-draped chair, a feeling that exudes confidence and esteem. Even a silk throw blanket or velvet-lined drapery gives off a modish kick, capturing that antique look as well.

The art of silver-folding

A lot of antique Indian style furniture and decor was made from pure sterling silver, hand-crafted and solid, with elaborate details and creativity. Intricate designs were inlayed into the silver, which was used for headboards, stools, chairs, trunks, desks, statues and the opulent adornment in luxurious kingdoms.

Nowadays, modern furniture stores are reproducing and drawing inspiration from these ancient design pieces with a process called silver-folding. Brass and metals are being imprinted with historical, elaborate Indian designs. It is a timely process, because many items are done by hand, but the outcome is a piece of furniture that will last you a lifetime and never tarnish or lose its durability. In essence, it's a great investment.

Indian art and decor

In many minimalist homes, the piece of artwork in a room is the standout item. It sets the stage for the furniture, fabrics, patterns, styles and overall vibe. Yoga and spirituality are huge influences of Indian culture and symbols of these practices can be hung against the walls of your modern home to give off a more peaceful presence.

A piece of folk art featuring Lord Shiva or Lord Ganesha (strong symbols of Indian culture) is always a nice touch to a hallway or foyer. Chakra and mandala symbols, intricate oil paintings of Buddha and Batik paintings are classic Indian staples that add a lift to any modern home.

Ancient Indian accessories

A handmade Indian jewelry box on the dresser in your bedroom adds historical value to your home. Serve your guests with Indian style pots, bowls, dishes and silverware, which are usually deeply embroidered with beautiful ethnic motifs. A statue made from wood, stone, marble or brass is always a nice addition to a room that needs an extra jolt.

Usually these items are created by artisans and craftsman, making them quite expensive but well worth it. A stylish rug made from Kashmir, Agra or Badohi in pure silk and wool is another element one can use in designing their modern home with Indian elements. Wood carvings or marble plates on display featuring India's coveted symbols of peace and tranquility is another design possibility.

Indian culture has created some of the finest pieces in design and art. When designing your modern home, it's important to think of the Indian culture for inspiration, good energy and a positive flow.

The Legacy of Ancient Rome in the Russian Silver Age $61.6 For poets throughout the world Rome was the world. This is particularly true for Russian poets, owing to the anagrammatical relation of the words Rome and mir (Rome and world). The legacy of ancient Rome has always constituted an important component of the Russian cultural consciousness. The revitalization of classical scholarship in nineteenth-century Russia and new approaches to antiquity prompted many of the Russian Symbolists to seek their inspiration in ancient Rome. Vladimir Solovyov, Dmitry Merezhkovsky, Valery Bryusov, Vyacheslav Ivanov, Maksimilian Voloshin, Vasily Komarovsky, and Mikhail Kuzmin all made significant contributions to what is often referred to as the “Roman text.” The Legacy of Ancient Rome in the Russian Silver Age analyzes the forms involved in creating the Roman image and explores its functionality within the given poetic system. In addition to the formal analysis, the background and the stimulus leading up to the composition of a particular poem are explored, as well as allusions to legends, myths and Rome’s geography and architecture. Moreover, this study considers the function of the Roman text in Russian Symbolist poetics and the works of the individual poets. Finally, the relation between the Roman and Petersburg texts of Russian literature is explored, since many of the Russian Symbolist poets found in Rome a perfect metaphor for their studies of the city and “urban” poetry.

Out of Athens: The New Ancient Greeks $36.71 The iconoclast of Classics, Page duBois refuses to act as border patrol for a sometimes fiercely protected traditional discipline. Instead, she incorporates insights from postcolonial, psychoanalytic, and postmodern theories into her nuanced close readings of ancient Greek texts. Contemporary theory and ancient texts are mutually transformed in the process. "Out of Athens" sets ancient Greek culture next to the global ancient world of Vedic India, the Han dynasty in China, and the empires that survived Alexander the Great. DuBois also extends the range of classical studies through illuminating transhistorical juxtapositions--ancients brush elbows with Colette as she performs as a mummy at the Moulin Rouge, or with Kirk Douglas as he appears on the silver screen as Spartacus. She reads the poetry of Sappho, the tattooed body of the sage Epimenides, as well as Athenian tragedy, Buddhist texts set in a post-Alexandrian Bactria, alongside the work of Judith Butler and Alain Badiou. Page duBois establishes a daring agenda for the next generation of Classicists and, for both the intimate friend of Greek texts and the freshly arrived reader, makes ancient Greeks new.

Lunar Science: Ancient and Modern $11.94 LUNAR SCIENCE. ANCIENT AND, MODERN. - I886. - INTRODUCTION - By Thy command, the moon, as daylight fades, Lifts her broad circle in the deepning shades Arrayd in glory, and enthroned in light, She breaks the solemn terrors of the night Sweetly inconstant in her varying flame, She changes still, another, yet the same Now in decrease, by slow degrees she shrouds Her fading lustre in a veil of clouds Now at increase, her gathering beams display A blaze of light, and give a paler day Ten thousand stars adorn her glittering train, Fall when she falls, and rise with her again, And oer the deserts of the sky unfold Their burning spangles of sidereal gold Through the wide heavens she moves serenely bright, Queen of the gay attendants of the night Behold a new spectacle of wonder The moon is making her entry on the eastern sky. See her rising in clouded majesty opening, as it were, and asserting her original commission to rule over the night all grand and stately, but somewhat sullied in her aspect. However, she brightens as she advances, and grows clearer as she climbs higher, till at length her silver loses all its dross she unveils her peerless light, and becomes the beauty of heaven, the glory of the stars Eccles. xliii. g, delighting every eye, and cheering the whole world with the brightness of her appearance and the softness of her splendours. THIS passage from a once noted but now neglected book, eloquently directs us to the sphere of our present inquiries. Whatever our degree in the artificial scale of human society, whatever our profession in the arduous service of human toil, we all are more or less moved by the divinity that stirs within us to feel an interest in the edifices of theDivine Architect and the embellishments of the Divine Artist. Sir George Cornewall Lewis said truly The history of astronomy has numerous points of contact with the general history of mankind and it concerns questions which interest a wider class than professed astronomers, for whose benefit the existing histories have been mainly composed.
