| Roger Prigent of Malmaison Antiques (1923—2012) |
Read my Architectural Digest tribute to Roger Prigent (1923—2012), a spirited, rascally, and knowledgeable antiques dealer, who became a friend and who had an impact on my early days as an editor and writer.
This is a wonderful tribute to an extraordinary man, who led a rich, full, exiting life.
ReplyDeleteHi there!
ReplyDeleteI wandered into Malmaison probably 20 something years ago on a trip to New York from California......and thought I would have to speak French!
That lovely man appeared; and what a treat I had!
Delightful, and once he knew I knew "something" (dubious at first; I was from California!!) was wonderful to talk to!
Lovely post, Aesthete! You have no idea how we miss you!

ps. this evening I tried 10 times to do a "capcha" thing; and ten times failed! (not you; another)
