Antiques ,especially as they have been shown here give a room individuality......a rare thing these days.
On another note have just received your Ann Getty book and have devoured it in one sitting, what a great book.

Thank you, Dean (blushing).
Thank you, Philip (totally blushing).

I'm so pleased that everyone has been inspired by this post.
It is about educating your eye, as you noted, Philip--and it is always about looking at everything with passion and excitement and openness and curiosity.

Therien's stand was an opportunity to encounter centuries of beauty--the ecstasy of beauty--and to see such diverse materials, techniques, high and low, grand and not so, as well as new concepts and classic eternal truths.
FACEBOOK--I posted the story and I'm so happy it has given many friends, including Darra Baker and Tamar Mashigian, such pleasure.
And Suzanna Allen and Kate Harbin send messages, saying 'reading this post was almost as good as being there again." Wonderful.
very best to all, DIANE

Dear Diane,

We are thrilled delighted that you included our stand from the recent San Francisco Fall Antiques show in The Style Saloniste. This is truly an international show in scope, with some of the world's best dealers, as you describe.

I hope that people interested in all kinds of design will be excited about new ways of approaching antiques, and a 21st century outlook that is exiting and invigorating. The Style Saloniste certainly does that in a wide range of fascinating subjects, and it is always inspiring to talk with you and share with your many readers these period antiques , and the wider ideas of how they are relevant today.

The "ecstasy of beauty"!- I love that title included here, and that is something that is truly timeless.

Thank you, and warmest regards,
Philip
