TROVE OBJECT GALLERY
The Light Echoes Indigo pieces by Catarina Pacheco embody Trove Object Gallery’s curated approach to collectible design. Part of a limited-edition series of hand-cut glass vases inspired by the movement of light and deep blue hues, each piece is designed in Lisbon—long celebrated for its glassmaking heritage—and meticulously cut by a master artisan with more than 30 years of experience. Pacheco’s practice blends poetic exploration with technical precision, considering material, color, form, and the cultural context of use. Her Glass Echoes collection reflects Trove’s focus on objects that sit between art and function—works chosen for their craftsmanship, storytelling, and lasting beauty. Trove Object Gallery curates an ever-evolving selection of limited-edition and handmade pieces by independent artisans worldwide, offering collectors thoughtfully made objects defined by quality, intention, and originality.

A GILDED AGE DEEP DIVE
Biltmore House: The Interiors and Collections of George W. Vanderbilt offers a sumptuous new look at America’s most iconic mansion in the first comprehensive volume in more than 30 years—and the first to focus entirely on its interiors and art. Written by Biltmore’s director of curatorial affairs, Darren Poupore, and art historian Laura C. Jenkins, and photographed by interiors master William Abranowicz, the book unlocks Vanderbilt’s world through rarely seen archival materials and newly revealed objects. From Monet and Renoir to Renaissance tapestries, exquisite furnishings, and a first-ever look inside the legendary 22,000-volume library, this is Biltmore as it was meant to be seen—grand, intimate, and gloriously alive.
