The British antique dealer, interior designer, and furniture maker is renowned on both sides of the Atlantic for his knack for creating rooms that are "joyful and elegant, effortlessly layered with color, texture, and history." His approach? Mixing "a masterful knowledge of antiques with decades of hands-on furniture-making experience and an impeccable eye for detail, resulting in interiors that are both timeless and uniquely personalized."
