Ashley Whittaker

"Twenty years of decorating and two twenty-foot shipping containers later – it’s time to say farewell to my “precious inventory”. Trust me when I say my husband will not be shedding any tears over my clearing out our storage. Everything will be for sale (maybe even my husband…ha!) That said, even I am excited to unpack twenty years of collecting waaaaaaaay too many things and start anew. There will be tables, chairs, mirrors, hurricanes, light fixtures, artwork, baskets, cachepots, accessories, books - You name it! Your guess is as good as mine as to what I will uncover. Stay tuned!"

Young Huh

"After succumbing to the temptation of over-collecting throughout my interior design career, it will be a bittersweet departure from a few of my favorite antique and vintage finds! We’re joining the first annual Clove Brook Farm Tag Sale, sharing finds ranging from fabric remnants to tabletop to vintage furniture. Come enjoy the hunt and find your next antique obsession."

Anthony Bellomo

"Now that I've been running my garden + home store, Orangerie, in Millbrook for three years, there are always extra chic items that need to go off to good homes. I'll be selling some surplus items from the shop, as well as some items from my former apartment in New York now that I spend most of my time in Millbrook. There may even be some fun plants thrown into the mix!"

Christopher Spitzmiller

"As a long time collector and congenital buyer I have bought but I can’t find homes for. I'll have garden antiques, a beautiful clear antique glass bell jar lantern, creamware plates and maybe a few chairs if I can be forced to part with them!"

Our brand is forged in presenting a compelling decorative mix of antique items and objects that create a dialogue through shape, color, or form regardless of time period or region, informed by our backgrounds in the fine arts and interior design.
