A singular eye.
Twenty-five years ago, Kathy Fitzpatrick began hosting invitation-only sales in the carriage house of her family home, Marymont Plantation, near Nashville. Word spread quickly of the rare and exceptional objects she was collecting on her travels abroad, and the Marymont shop soon became a destination for collectors and designers from across the country — among them the venerable Albert Hadley and Bunny Williams.
Arranged in chic, custom vignettes, her objets d'art from the 17th through the 20th century have included a rare 17th-century Italian credenza, 18th-century dining chairs and garden décor from the storied Château de Groussay outside Paris, pieces from the estate of Doris Duke, canvas panels from the Waldorf Astoria, and artwork by Picasso and Andy Warhol.
French at heart but never doctrinaire — she mixes Italian, English, and Spanish pieces with finds from San Miguel de Allende: the grand with the unexpected, the old with the new.
