Year of the Snake

Gilded snake balustrade on a marble staircase
The year of the snake is upon us…
The Chinese New Year which starts today along with the new moon announces the snake as its symbol, a symbol revered for centuries as a symbol of royalty, eternity, love (Prince Albert gave Queen Victoria a snake ring for their wedding band), power & good luck.
 
Seen here are some of my favorite iterations in art, jewelry, rugs, silver and room decor.
