Paolo Moschino and Philip Vergeylen are internationally acclaimed designers and the force behind the Nicholas Haslam design studio. Mr. Moschino bought the studio in 1995 and together he and Mr. Vergeylen have grown the brand into one of the most prominent names in the design world.

Thom Filicia is the New York City based designer and founder of his namesake brand in 1998. Mr. Filicia's credits go beyond the design world and onto the small screen as part of the hit show Queer Eye for the Straight Guy which lead to several other television appearances. I first met Mr. Filicia at an antiques fair in 2014 where he purchased a vintage Italian table from me. This table is a prominent fixture in his Sedgwick and Brattle showroom in the New York Design Center. Visit his website here.

Michel Smith Boyd is the Atlanta based interior designer who has both Southern charm and a big city style. Mr. Boyd has established himself as a well respected and award winning designer. I first met Mr. Boyd at a design event in Las Vegas and later reconnected with him at an antique fair. Mr. Boyd was drawn to a collection of contemporary art by New York City based artist Clintel Steed whom I was representing. Mr. Steed's work was later incorporated into one of his designs.

Tyler Hays is the Philadelphia-based, Oregon-raised, New York City furniture designer who has made a name for himself through curiosity and an ultra-strict attention to detail. The BDDW brand, Mr. Hays' company and a throwback to his beginnings in Greenpoint, Brooklyn, creates bespoke furniture, lighting, ceramics, clothing and just about anything else that Mr. Hays can dream up. Mr. Hays has also opened a general store in his hometown in Oregon where he plans to sell his own pieces. I first met Mr. Hays in my retail shop in Philadelphia. I had been selling him a few industrial pieces and paintings, when I came upon a collection of antique wildlife murals. Mr. Hays bought the entire collection. They now are featured in his SoHo and Milan galleries. Visit his website here.

Mr. Shaulis opened his name sake firm in 2002 and since has enjoyed a notable list of clients, has won awards and participated in several shophouses. I first met Mr. Shaulis through shared social media friends and later in person at an antique fair. Our shared love of vintage and design gave us so much to talk about that our friendship was instantaneous. I was honored when he approached me to source vintage furnishings for his suite at the Christopher Kennedy Compound show house in Palm Springs. Visit his website here.

I first met Mr. Marvin at the New York City flea market where our shared love of antiques made us fast friends.

Patrick Hamilton is the New York City based interior designer who has built his business on his Invest, Save, Splurge style. Mr. Hamilton began his namesake design business in 2008 and has tailored his approach to Manhattan style living - with both small space solutions and luxury apartment design. I first met Mr. Hamilton at an industry dinner after the 2014 What's New What's Next event. Mr. Hamilton was designing his Derby Deconstructed room at Holiday House and had been searching for a special piece to complete his design. I was honored to have loaned him an oversize, vintage, abstract, shaped canvas painting that I had sourced in Philadelphia. The painting was a great hit and was later sold to an Upper East Side art gallery. Visit his website here.

Ms. Ellis and I quickly became friends and when we reconnected at an antique fair, she immediately sought me out to source vintage finds and art for her furniture line debut at the Universal Furniture showroom. In addition to sourcing table items, Ms. Ellis was also taken by the contemporary work of New York City based painted Clintel Steed and Philadelphia based street photographer Michael Penn.
