Acts of Daring

The Acts of Daring Collection

The Acts of Daring Collection celebrates the performers and live performances that have thrilled and entertained audiences since the 18th century.

Taking inspiration from the romance and danger of life in the circus, trapeze girls and acrobatic boys fly through the air with the greatest of ease.

The trapeze artists, tumblers and daring couple on the high wire capture moments of fun, conjuring up the excitement of the Big Top.

Featuring luxurious velvet cushions finished with golden tassels and fine bone china handmade in England, marrying traditional methods and modern techniques.

The fine bone china pieces are gilded by hand with 22kt burnished gold, both luxurious and dishwasher friendly.

The designs work wonderfully as soloists or combined to create a daring story and unique collection.
