Barclay Butera
Trunk Show
“A few years ago, I hired a guide for the Paris antiques auctions. When a groovy guy in aviator goggles with a coyote throw over his shoulders pulled up to the Hôtel Costes on a Vespa, I wasn’t sure what I was getting myself into! But I heard that he had private access to lots filled with incredible estate merchandise, and that he could negotiate in French. I decided to bid on several items, including a dusty Louis Vuitton trunk that made my heart race. In the end, I couldn’t part with it—so for years it served as a coffee table in my Park City, Utah, home, until I finally let it go to a special client. I think of that crazy trip every time I see it.” —Barclay Butera, Barclay Butera Interiors
