inThe world’s leading art and antiques fair in Maastricht never disappoints you. This year the fair had a fantastic selection of 30.000 best fine art pieces displayed by 263 art and antiques dealers from 17 countries. The fair is not only about the best art and antique but also about the best atmosphere. Spending a week with the most elegant crowd, sipping champagne, networking with the best dealers and enjoying the atmosphere of luxury is worth of travelling every year to the Netherlands.

These three apartments are from Hearst Magazines’ “Designer Visions: Cinema Style” apartments on the 58th floor of The Setai Fifth Avenue Residences which I visited. The apartments were open for the public to visit in October in New York. I especially liked the House Beautiful Bedroom which is very much in the princess style which is hard to find nowadays. All the apartments had fabulous views across New York City.
1. House Beautiful apartment designed by Phoebe and Jim Howard: The Bedroom
2. Town & Country apartment designed by Steven Gambrel: The Office
3. Veranda apartment designed by Richard Hallberg: A Living Room and a Dining Room

Hint: If you are looking only for decorative objectives don’t bother to go. This fair is only for art elite and high end art dealers but of course art lovers are always welcome. However I did find something for decorators after looking for many hours, below some pictures of my favourite findings.
A Stuffed deer cover by chrystal, really astonishing statuette
More info about the Japanese stuffed animals and chrystals

The best finds in the fair from interior designers’ perspective were classy Italian armchair from the 1950’s, Italian Art Nouveau white painted and carved wooden mirror, bohemian chandelier from the 1880 and very cute English Knole settee from early 17th century.
