DECORATION
Choosing paint colors is the Achilles
heel of even the most seasoned decorator. Not only are the options endless,
but even tried-and-true hues look
different in every space. That’s why
many interior designers are obsessed
with Farrow & Ball, whose palette is
refreshingly restrained to 132 colors,
each one creatively and aptly named
— for example, Railings, Mouse’s
Back, Borrowed Light, Elephant’s
Breath and Manor House Gray. Made
in Dorset, England, Farrow & Ball combines high levels of pigments and rich
resin binders with key ingredients for
a superior finish. Every few years, the
company retires nine colors and introduces nine new ones. Among the latest, we love Drop Cloth (the precise shade of
the painter’s dust sheet), Shadow White (white with a dash of shade) and Peignoir
(a dusty gray-pink inspired by chiffon nightgowns). At Artifkt, 2026 N. Henderson,

hen Rupal Dalal launched her
sleek collection of mother-of-pearl
furniture during a party at Art of
Old India, her family’s showroom
on Dragon Street, nine pieces sold
within minutes. Clearly, there was a market for them.

look. “I was always drawn to the antique motherof-pearl furniture in the showroom,” says Rupal, who joined the family business in 2011
after earning an MBA in finance from Southern Methodist University. “I wanted to design
something that would go with any decor and wouldn’t go out of style.” Her father, Pankaj
Dalal, opened Art of Old India in 1974, and the two now run the 20,000-square-foot
showroom together. (Her mother, Jayshree Dalal, a jewelry designer whose fine, gold and
diamond pieces are sold through Stanley Korshak, shows her semiprecious jewelry and
clothing collection at Art of Old India.) To showcase Rupal’s 20-piece collection of mirrors,
accessories and side, coffee and console tables, the showroom’s front room received an allwhite makeover. Interior designer Neal Stewart mixed Rupal’s new generation of furniture
with the showroom’s inventory of antiques. This stunning iteration of the old-world space
has mother-of-pearl doors; glass fixtures; ornate, hand-carved teak sofa and coordinating
chairs; architectural columns; inlaid chests; and jeweled brass lanterns. Art of Old India,

TO THE ENDS OF
THE EARTH
R
ichard “Dick” Bass, who died in July 2015 at the
age of 85, was renowned for his business savvy
as an oilman and rancher, but his worldly hobbies
— international mountaineering, specifically —
are what garnered him unexpected fame. He was
the first man on record to climb all Seven Summits, the tallest
mountains on each continent including Mount Everest. He
also financed Utah’s Snowbird ski resort in 1971. Friends and
family say it was during those adventures that Bass developed
an intense love for beautiful objects, ranging from French
and British works created during
the Napoleonic Wars to antiques
discovered on travels to Nepal,
Japan, Thailand and Hong Kong. On
Wednesday, March 30, an unprecedented
146 pieces from Bass’ diverse estate go up for bid
during the Living With Art sale at Christie’s
in New York. Biddable items include Old
Masters, Impressionist, British and 19thcentury paintings; 18th-century English
furniture; and works of Chinese art.
