Chartreuse Queen Protea
Nature wall art that earns its name is made of a natural material interpreted by someone who has spent 25 years studying the forms. The Chartreuse Queen Protea is a handmade ceramic wall flower from the English Garden Collection, kiln-fired in Toronto in a chartreuse glaze that is specific in the way that botanical decisions that have been considered carefully tend to be specific, and shaped in the Queen protea form — the largest of the protea species, with the density and scale that earns the name.
Maximalist home decor from the collection that loyal collectors return to every year
The Queen protea form at full ceramic scale is one of the most architecturally significant pieces in the English Garden Collection — it has the presence of an object that was designed to be the largest thing on the wall and is comfortable in that position. The chartreuse glaze on the architectural protea form creates a piece that reads as both botanical and sculptural simultaneously. There are people who have been coming to the Chelsea stand for a decade — the spring cleaning regulars, the ones who know about the discontinued archive. They arrive at opening. They have opinions. The Chartreuse Queen Protea is the piece that the most opinionated of them specifically return to find, and among the pieces Chive considers worth keeping in production because of this.
The Wadsworth Atheneum in Hartford carries the English Garden Collection. The Florence Griswold Museum in Connecticut stocks it. The Parrish Museum in the Hamptons carries it. The RHS Chelsea Flower Show awarded Chive the 5-star booth award — the highest rating given — for 13 consecutive years. Museums in the northeastern US art corridor have been making this purchasing decision consistently. Chive has been designing and making ceramic flowers in Toronto since 1999.
A gift for someone who loves museums and has opinions about what belongs in them
The Chartreuse Queen Protea is the gift for a museum lover because it comes from the same collection stocked in the Wadsworth Atheneum, the Parrish Museum, and the Florence Griswold Museum. It ships in a Chive gift box. It hangs with one screw in 90 seconds. The museum lover gets wall art with curatorial endorsement from institutions that have acquired Chive's work, which is the context they will understand and appreciate most clearly.
