I am a part time buyer for Kahn Fine Antiques in Chatham, Massachusetts, whose role is to go a little out of the gallery mainstream with items aimed at new collectors - frequently vintage or on-trend. On Chairish, I hope to offer styling elements that can amplify the personal expression, achieve the desired ambience, enhance the aesthetics, and strengthen emotional attachments. I often feel a connection with items. For example the photo above is of a piece by Samuel Davis Otis (1889-1961) I recently acquired at auction. I kept feeling I was reading something, maybe even hearing something, in the dots, swirls, squiggles, and stains.
