EXPLORING THE WORLD

Ever since the beginning of devonshire in Middleburg, Virginia, owners Nelson Hammell and Pete Hawkins were expanding their horizons, shopping and sourcing in foreign lands....one country they have returned to, over and over, is Morocco.   

Marrakech and Fez, Tangiers and Tamgroute, all are home to artisans who work in iron, pottery, textiles and lighting.  These artisans apply local skills to Western design ideas and create home furnishings that can be proudly displayed in chic and forward looking homes across the Country....a picture from years gone by show Pete with his original dark hair and Nelson with hair...the passing of time can be a cruel journey, but we leave it to William Shakespeare to bring poetic and thrilling dialogue to the years that have gone by the by.
