Antique Spotlight

D Home scout: John Gay

The Mission: Find and photograph an antique that speaks to you.

The Find: Late 19th-century ware bust of Marie Antoinette ($1,450/Milton Kent Antiques).

What was the draw? It was refreshing to see something in an antiques store that wasn’t brown. Even though my design aesthetic is more modern, I kept coming back to this piece. I think it’s a great conversation piece.
