Above fireplace wall decor carries more weight than most wall art, because everyone in the room ends up looking at it whether they meant to or not. Oxford gathers seven ceramic flowers in olive green, oatmeal, grey, navy, peach mocha and lime yellow, named for the city of college quadrangles and libraries old enough to keep their own rules about candles. The palette moves from the Olive Green Echeveria and Avocado Green Sorbet Peony through the cooler Grey Goyet Azalea and Navy Blue Chalksticks Succulent, with the Oatmeal Hawthorn and Peach Mocha Cornflower softening the middle and the Lime Yellow Larkspur adding a flash of brightness at the edge. Every piece is shaped by hand at Chive Ceramics Studio, with reactive glazes that catch firelight in the evening. The flowers come boxed one by one, each with a keyhole ready for a screw. Above a mantel, the set reads like something that has hung there for generations, which is the effect a fireplace has always been asking for.
