Fête des Fleurs Auction Item:
"Out on a Limb" Chairs from Pergola
A pair of limited edition indoor/outdoor garden-inspired chairs
 David Whitman and Peter Stiglin, interior designers and longtime friends of the Garden, searched the treasures of their chic New Preston store, Pergola, to offer these limited edition chairs. Made of polycarbonate (as in bullet proof glass) these hard-to-find amber colored chairs are the hottest seats on the market, elegant enough for indoors and durable enough for garden seating. They have sold out at Pergola and are featured in the July issue of New England Home magazine. Value for the pair: $1,000.
Perched above New Preston Falls in Connecticut, Pergola offers uncommon plant material, frangrances, antiques and a variety of natural curiousities in a jewel box store that is a gift to the senses. Ready to bid on these wonderful chairs? Please contact Robin Parow, 413-298-3926 (absentee bids will be honored at the Fete if you are unable to attend). Deadline for pre-bidding: Friday, July 22, 4 pm. |
