John Rosselli is brilliant. He is an incredible talent, long appreciated by the Trade to provide unique decorative furnishings, both truly old and new-to-look-old.
ReplyDeleteI remember when I lived in NYC in the 70's he had a shop on 72nd and 2nd Avenue. It was called "Limited Editions". It was just jammed packed with the most wonderful things. I stalked the windows more often than any other shop in the city.
ReplyDeleteHe is a genius!
Listen. This guy is the best of the best. 22 or so years ago; I went to his 4 story store on the east river in New york. 4 stories. and there were dogs lounging around on all the furniture on all 4 stories!!! Great dogs!
ReplyDeleteGreat things.....never in my life...before have I seen so many things I LOVED. Everything ....ever single article down to the tiny boxes........I LOVED. I missed my plane back to California. It was worth it. When we built our house in California.....100%n of the light fixtures...John Rosselli...90% of the architectural details..(finials, etc). Everyone thinks our house is 100 years old. It is 10. John is the best....and he and Bunny.....ohdearlord! What a team!!!
i LOVE the antique collection of china. If only I had a cabinet full of antique china vases :)
