New York Antique Restoration Specialist Christophe Pourny is featured this week in the coveted "Saturday Shopping" section on www.1stdibs.com. As most of my readers know, 1st dibs is the premiere shopping site for antique and period furniture, estate jewelry, and now vintage fashion. The brainchild of founder Michael Bruno, 1st dibs has a loyal following that stretches from Dallas to Dubai! What better way to browse the collections of the worlds most discriminating eyes. Especially when you can do it in your bathrobe, having your first cup of coffee.
Saturday Shopping is a weekly feature on 1st dibs that showcases the favorite picks of new listings from an industry expert, this week- Christophe Pourny.
It is a busy time for Christophe Pourny Studio. Just last month, Pourny saw the first model in his new furniture collection hung in ID Collection in Dallas & Houston. "Modele Rue Jacob" is a beautiful example of high gloss black lacquer, featuring 18k gold leaf. A wonderfully proportioned mirror that is regal and modern at the same time.
If that weren't enough, Pourny's work is also featured in the November issue of Architectural Digest. The issue has Michael Jackson on the cover, as the magazine gives you a look inside Jackson's strange world and his large furniture collection. While Pourny's work is featured in the story on NY designer Marjorie Shushan, coincidentally, Pourny had done some work for Michael Jackson in the late 90's when Jackson had an apartment in Trump Tower. The issue is on newsstands now, and you can go "Saturday Shopping" any day with Christophe at www.1stdibs.com.
