If you have a chance this weekend to visit Masterpiece London, you will not be disappointed!! Not only are there magnificent antiques like a display cabinet from Paris, circa 1875, by Edouard Lievre, and marvelous photography like this 1955 piece by Andreas Feineger, there are also spectacular craftspeople making amber or turquoise cabinets, crystal rock chandeliers (Robert Goossens), and bronze cast tables (Mattia Bonetti). And, of course, our favorites from the Adrian Sassoon Gallery, Kate Malone, Junko Mori and Felicity Aylieff are a treat.
