I agree with Modest Collector.

I visited the store in Tribeca in the 1990's and was awe struck as soon as I passed through the door.

I'm a fairly ardent researcher of 20th century decorative arts and Wyeth did put Edward Wormley and Scandinavian pottery on the map. The neutral interior settings with pieces which were incredibly refinished and upholstered in mowhair were amazing. They were beyond chic.

I also noted many, and I mean many, interior designers copied the "look" with great success. And the "look" is still popular today, check any shelter magazine published. So I'm saying the owner had a profound affect on the way we live is an understatement.

So maybe Mr. Birch learned a lesson and is keeping the "cards close to his chest" this time? Can you blame him? Wyeth, as far as I know, has never done a show, does not have a website or have public access to his inventory. I haven't seen a magazine article written about the store in years.

And I've done business with the Mr. Birch and his staff and they were fantastic.

For those who appreciate it, Wyeth is an icon of style. So for those who appreciate the cutting edge in stylish vintage design, this is the place to go.
