Reid Rolls One must only buy what one likes, and it will find its place. Antiques dealer John Rosselli s words are an anthem for collectors young and old, not to mention designers who champion a truly personal aesthetic. His antiques shop, John Rosselli Antiques, in Manhattan s Upper East Side has been beloved by generations of designers and collectors for 65 years, not only as a true shopping destination but also a place to cultivate taste and train one s eye.
For all those in the collecting and design communities who mourned the shuttering of the shop last fall (and its subsequent transition to an online platform geared towards the design trade), we re ecstatic to share with you some happy news: a selection of Rosselli s collection is coming to market via a Stair Galleries online auction January 27. (A gallery preview will be held January 18-26.)
