Masterpiece Theater
Designers in the market for decorative arts should head over to new exhibitor J. Kugel, where notable pieces like a Large Pietra Dura Table Top on a Giltwood Base, hailing from Florence, is on view; also, Italy’s Burzio stand is showcasing a set of Royal Louis XV Pliants (that’s a pair of folding stools, for the uninitiated). For those on the hunt for something a little more ancient, in the spirit of TEFAF’s antique focus, a circa 600 B.C. Osiris statuette at exhibitor Charles Ede or the Anatolian idol from Galerie Kevorkian should fit the bill.

TEFAF runs through November 1 at the Park Avenue Armory. TEFAF New York Spring 2018 will be held May 4 to 8, 2018.
