Item Description
Intense and charismatic, Ernest Hemingway reveled in both the simplicities of life and its extremes. A talent for writing and insatiable thirst for adventure drew this twentieth century war correspondent, novelist and avid sportsman to some of the world's most beautiful, exotic action-filled settings. In Paris, Milan, Pamplona, Kenya, Key West and Havana he captured the events of his time in a straightforward writing style that belied the complexities underlying his life and work. Inspired by its namesake, The Ernest Hemingway ® Collection from Thomasville ® marries romantic notions, simple forms and exotic details in an expansive home furnishings collection that honors the many facets of the Nobel Prize-winning author's legendary life. Bold.
The Raj Table offered here is inspired from Ernest Hemingway's vast travels to a number of East African countries whose coasts border the Indian Ocean. It was common to find Raj and other Indian decorative furnishings in East African countries because of trade between them and India, all having been colonies of Great Britain before gaining their independence.
