I was honored to be featured on Cloth & Kind last week for  their Show & Tell column.  Be sure to follow these lovely ladies.  They are so talented and share such a similar love for all textiles as I do.

 SHOW & TELL: HOLLY PHILLIPS

ABOUT  | Holly Hollingsworth Phillips is a residential interior designer and co-owner of The English Room.

This is my antique horn chair, which I purchased on a buying trip to Paris in the mid 1990’s when I was working at Travis and Company in charge of the antiques at ADAC. It was my first buying trip with the company.  This chair was purchased after a long boozy lunch in the market.  The owner of the set (yes it was part of a set…so wish we bought the loveseat too) said it came from a famous hair salon (Christophe…I think) in Paris that did Jackie O’s hair when she visited with Onassis. I was sold with the horn and leopard alone… then Jackie O thrown in.  When it arrived to ADAC and we were unpacking I almost had a fist fight with another employee who also wanted it.  I had dreamed of this baby ever since I saw it.

It makes me so happy and has traveled from house to house over the years. It now resides in my den.

I am an animal print fanatic.  I know they can be misunderstood with so many bad examples but nothing can be more chic when done right.
