As a passionate collector herself, Ms. Ohrbach has traveled the world, and her journey has taken her from the finest London antiques dealers to New York City flea markets and elegant Italian homes. Now all of her insider advice and wonderful discoveries reflecting her impeccable taste are collected in this one volume. In it, she shares her secrets for finding, living with, and caring for treasured old objects.
