subject: Sorelle Holiday Gifts And Collectibles [print this page] Whatever the occasion, bestowing a gift upon someone close to you is a great opportunity to not only show them how much you care, it simultaneously reinforces one of the most fundamentally rewarding joys of life itself: being unselfishly kind and wishing others well.
It's difficult to pinpoint how far back the tradition of gift giving extends, but generally when we think of honoring another with gifts during the holiday season, most conjure images of the Three Wise Men visiting the newborn Christ child in Bethlehem. For others, the gifting tradition is more closely connected to Saint Nicholas's charitable deeds from the 4th Century, and still some view the custom as older than even the holiday itself, going all the way back to Roman times when people gave gifts to one another at the onset of Winter.
From wherever the inspiration comes and whomever happens to be on the receiving end of your kind act, as the surplus of gift choices becomes ever more vast these days thanks to Internet shopping, zeroing in on a retailer you can trust becomes equally as daunting.
With over 30 years of experience supplying antique and rare Persian rugs to some of America's finest homes along famed 5th Avenue in New York City, it was only a matter of time before the Hendiazad sisters, Anoush and Avisha, branched off from the family, establishing their own successful business, Sorelle Home Collectibles.
Meaning 'Sisters' in Italian, Sorelle Collectibles embodies their tried-and-true maxim that has made them a success with customers all over the world: "The antiques of yesterday inspire our collections of today to become your antiques of tomorrow." The choices are many but here's just a few to whet your appetite:
Sorelle Crystal - Born of a practice that goes back many centuries, Sorelle's own hand-crafted crystal ware is a virtual showcase for any and all gift-buyers in need of the perfect holiday offering: figurines, vases, bowls, perfume bottles, candle holders, and many others, all affordably priced, of the highest quality, and ready for purchase.
Oriental Rugs - Originating in such countries as China, Vietnam, Turkey, and Iran, Oriental rug-making is one of the most ancient forms of interior decorative arts and design still in wide practice today. A finely woven rug can be the final touch to that special space in your home, or even serve as the room's center piece. As one of their flagship items sold decades ago by the family in New York, Sorelle carries on with the custom, offering stunning rugs in every available shape, color, design, and price range.
Art Glass and Enamel - When the Hendiazad sisters set out to fashion their business, they recruited the finest artisans from Italy and Spain to help bring their dream to fruition. If art is truly 'in the details' as the saying goes, look no further than Sorelle's art glass and enamel collection for the proof: Ornaments, stemware, and trinket boxes . . . each precious item is lovingly decorated with magnificent color and minute detail.
The actual giving of a gift to another is always a pleasurable experience, but sometimes the selecting is another matter all together. It takes time, effort, and often comes with a bit of frustration as we struggle with choices. We all want to find that one item that seems best to encapsulate our feelings and thoughts about the other person. Now that the holiday season is officially in full-swing, why not give Sorelle a shot at making the gift-purchasing process a little more pleasurable this Christmas by checking out their website and seeing if anything grabs your eye.
