THE ECLECTIC INTERIOR:    Design Vérité

Beacon Hill and Christie’s present “The Eclectic Interior: Design Vérité.” Today’s most compelling interiors are personal and layered expressions of taste and life experience. In these settings, the frame of an upholstered piece of furniture suggests one narrative and the fabric another, and their plots intertwine to tell a larger story. This exhibition presents items from Christie’s June Interiors Sale re-upholstered with Beacon Hill fabrics. These contrasts between historic and current references intrigue when Christie’s antique furniture combines with Beacon Hill’s contemporary fabric to tell a tale of design vérité.
