The historic value of their top pieces is no longer the one thing that counts for visionary antiques dealers: the decorative meaning is also of essential importance.
Valuable antique objects can give a major added value to a classical or ultramodern interior just like works of art, not due to their museological merit but due to their look, their unique patina, their testimony to a glorious past or far flung cultural origin.
This book presents dozens of examples of recently constructed or restored homes where interior designers and antiques dealers provide an eclectic whole of old and new.
