Soul of the home - Tara Shaw

Interior designer and antiques dealer Tara Shaw is the goto supplier of French and European antiques for Thomas O'Brien, Bunny Williams, and a host of AD100 Alisters. In her first book, she helps readers understand how to select the best antiques and how to use them in a variety of decor schemes.

The book presents never before published spaces from Shaw's portfolio and reveals her favorite antique hunting spots throughout Europe. Anecdotes from years of treasure hunting are accompanied by images of rare and precious finds, with text that decodes just how to choose the right pieces and display them in a contemporary interior. Readers will be able to look at each space and take away ideas they can apply to their own homes, to create personalized rooms full of provenance and beauty.
