Los Angeles Antiques Show




The Los Angeles Antiques Show is wrapping up today, and from everything I've heard it sounded like a stellar event. A friend of mine was kind enough to take photos of some exhibitors' booths, which I'm sharing with you today. Looks like we missed a great show!





All I can say is "Wow!" I love this booth designed by Joe Nye. So chic! And notice the stylish use of Nye's beloved carnations.






Those clever owners of Downtown are always ahead of the curve. This year they featured a few pieces by the late Mexican designer Arturo Pani. I believe they are reproducing Pani's designs, including the small scroll table in the second photo.



The very elegant booth of Hollyhock. Notice how the exquisite furniture takes center stage.

  1. Interesting post! The rich red is an interesting and rich choice of color for the first booth.

  2. i really like the contrast of the two exhibits you chose to show ( dramatic elegance vs. understated elegance)

  3. That Joe Nye Booth is a real eye catcher! I was quite surprised when I saw it was his work - love his style and am rapt to see the truly flamboyant side of him :-)
