A Passion for Collecting: Decorating with Art and Antiques SYNOPSIS
The lure of the hunt, the thrill of the chase, that peerless moment of
discovery when dream and ideal meet in a single object-this is the
collector's world. To the collector, the world is her oyster, full of
hidden pearls ready to be plucked and shown to greatest advantage among
the other spoils of her obsession.
ELLE DECOR is pleased to bring you an unprecedented glimpse 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. Art and antiques experts,
designers and couturiers, world travelers, artists and entrepreneurs have
generously opened their doors to give us a rare view of the collector's
world. Nowhere will you find the collector's passion more gloriously
illustrated; all the inspiration you need to start gathering those objects
of desire for your own home.
