SOUTHERN HEIRLOOMS - 1981
An Elizabeth Arden Christmas inspired by the historic antebellum homes of Natchez, Mississippi
Acres of luxurious land, stretches of fertile fields, groves of moss-draped oaks, weeping willows, dogwood, magnolias, wisteria - this was the old South.
This was another way of life, a world of great houses filled with precious silver and porcelains, delicate laces and gilded mirrors, shimmering crystal and rare carpets, splendid furniture handmade by gifted craftsmen... the heirlooms that Southerners were to cherish for generations to come.
This was a world of such abundance it gave men the leisure to enjoy these palatial homes. To entertain with warmth and hospitality. To live a life of grace and beauty and refinement.
Nowhere was this luxury raised to such heights as it was in Natchez, Mississippi, once the most prosperous city in the South. Barely touched by the Civil War, its glorious antebellum homes - the greatest concentration of magnificent mansions anywhere in the county-stand today, metiulously restored, memorials to an elegant past.
Lansdowne, Melrose, Longwood, D'Evereuz, Green Leaves. They were the inspiration for Southern Heirlooms, the exclusive limited edition Elizabeth Arden collection for Christmas 1981.
