Art enthusiasts, antiques collectors and taste-makers can all look forward to feasting their winter-weary orbs on a vibrant room-setting that features the Spring Show NYC Collection. Ochestrated by Brett Beldock, and in tribute to the ASPCA® (The American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals), the Spring Show NYC opening-night beneficiary, the special installation incorporates numerous works of art and decorative objects with animal-motifs that the renowned designer gathered from the participating dealers. A donation of $25 will be made to the ASPCA® for any item purchased from Ms. Beldock’s installation.
“I am very excited to collaborate with the Spring Show NYC dealers in order to raise additional funds for the ASPCA,” says Ms. Beldock. Her room blends modern and traditional objects. Among them are gilt-gesso armchairs, circa 1790, from Clinton Howell Antiques, and a pair of Regency satin-wood spoon chairs from Hyde Park Antiques. Among the others contributing to the eclectic decor are Milord Antiques, Lillian Nassau, Yew Tree House Antiques, Phoenix Ancient Art, Leo Kaplan,L’Antiquaire & The Connoisseur, Alexander’s Antiques, Linda Bernell Gallery, Jeffrey Tillou Antiques, Bernard Goldberg Fine Arts, and Jeff Bridgman American Antiques.
To infuse her signature contemporary look into the room, Ms. Beldock will also use wallpapers she designed: One features crocodiles and the other wood grain. Both motifs are over etched silver. “The introduction of these wallpapers and a few pieces of contemporary furniture of my own design for Profiles really make the glorious antiques sing,” says Ms. Beldock.
Over the years, Brett Beldock has also whipped up memorable rooms for the Kips Bay Decorator Showcase, Design on a Dime for Housing Works, and Holiday House for Cancer Research, as well as several other decorator showcases.
An adjunct professor of design at NYU, a one-time fashion designer, and a color forecaster for products developed by Samsung of Korea, Beldock and her company, Brett Design Inc. have won notable coverage in The New York Times, New York Post, House Beautiful, Interior Design, Forbes, Elle Décor, New York, and Hamptons and Connecticut Cottages & Gardens, as well as in many other shelter books and publications.
Ms. Beldock’s specially designed room for Spring Show NYC Collection will be on public view from May 2 to May 5 at the Park Avenue Armory, Park Avenue and 67th Street.
