Dealers of antiques and vintage furnishings are the ultimate
design trendsetters, setting the styles that are followed by
decorators, manufacturers and, ultimately, consumers. With
extensive knowledge of design history and an instinct for sniffing
out undiscovered treasures and diamonds in the rough, the leading
dealers hand-pick the furniture, artwork and objects that
personalize the spaces we inhabit.
In their own homes, these dealers have the opportunity to let
their imaginations run wild and to display what is, for them, the
cream of the crop. With exquisite samples of rare furniture;
exhaustingly curated collections of art and objects; an innate
sense of taste, color, scale and proportion; and a bit of humor,
the dealers design environments for themselves that can serve as
compelling examples to anyone striving to create a singular
home.

design.
