British native Charles Mottram engraved this scene of New York City circa 1855 and its harbor with fine horizontal lines adding depth and a crisp, precise quality to the large print. The viewer can find Trinity Church, which still stands at the southern tip of Manhattan. Fulton steamships intersect with commercial sailboats in the bustling harbor. American-born John William Hill has painted a rendition of the sunset over New Jersey beyond the Hudson River. Mottahedeh has precisely recreated this detailed work. A favorite with brides, Mottahedeh specializes in luxurious patterns and unique, elegant shapes that are reproduced from china found in museums and historical societies. The patterns feature complex and vibrant colors, and hand-painted gold decoration. The pieces are surprisingly fresh and timely, and look wonderful in both contemporary and traditional dining rooms.
