Berkshire Designer Showcase

ShowcaseVHA2011_090.sizedWe were so pleased and excited to participate in the recent Berkshire Designer Showcase at Ventfort Hall, Lenox’s Gilded Age Museum. The local landmark, originally built by George and Sarah Morgan, the sister of legendary financier J. Pierpont Morgan in 1893, has undergone an amazing transformation over the last decade, as the Ventfort Hall Association has worked tirelessly on its restoration. Nearly demolished in the 1980’s by a nursing home developer, the Association was formed in response and was able to purchase the property with the help of private donors and loans, and a five-year loan from the National Trust for Historic Preservation. To furnish the newly completed second floor, the association worked with 14 Berkshire based designers to create unique spaces that complement each room.

We were happy to be included in the group of wonderful Berkshire interior designers, artists, artisans, and antique dealers who worked on these extraordinary spaces. Pieces from our collection can be viewed in the Salon du Jour Bridal Suite at Ventfort Hall designed by Cecil K. Pollen of Kitchens & Interiors (pictured above). Ventfort Hall is open daily, Monday-Thursday 10 to 5, Fridays 10 to 7, and weekends 10 to 3. The showcase will be on view until next winter.
