Peacocks

With their regal, rich colors and unmistakeable texture and form, peacock feathers naturally lend their beautiful attributes to everything from jewelry to walls to accessories.

It’s no wonder peacocks have inspired all manner of designs.  With their regal, rich colors and unmistakeable texture and form, peacock feathers naturally lend their iridescent attributes to everything from jewelry to walls to accessories.  A symbol which has figured in art for centuries, the peacock transcends design.

In early Christian art, the peacock symbolized eternal life.  To the Buddhists, it symbolizes wisdom and to the Hindus, the stars.  Whatever the meaning placed on the dramatic feathers and colors of the peacock, we can all enjoy the stunning result of its influence on design.
