A passion for art

More about the book

The lure of the hunt, the thrill of the chase, that moment of discovery when dream and ideal meet in a single object - this is the collector’s world. To the collector, the world is their oyster, full of hidden pearls ready to be plucked down and shown to the greatest advantage among the other spoils of their obsession. Art and antiques experts, designers and couturiers, artists and entrepreneurs open their doors and their hearts to give us a rare view of some of the world’s most intriguing collections. But not just any collections; in these pages you’ll find opulent assemblages distinguished by their rarity, eclecticism and, most of all, by the style and flair with which they’ve been incorporated into the home setting.
