The mud and sandstone walls hid the multistory palace of Imam Yahya, built in the 1930s. From one of the terraces where we were invited to dine in the evening we could look down some 1000 feet into the valley and the lights of the village. The floor was covered with bright carpets, pots with plants were everywhere, and the light came from candles set on tripods. Over chicken and lamb with lentils, followed by cake and cardamom tea, the Imam explained that the tripods were left by a British surveying expedition in the twenties, mapping the deserts and hills of Yemen. We were impressed by the fact that the metal and wood, combined with saddlerís leather straps, still looked fresh and new, obviously a combination of quality and form follows function. Learn More

At some point we realized furniture collection was turning into a labor of love. Originally devised as a home for Kunstkammer objets d'art, we somehow turned a corner in celebrating the nostalgia of a past sailing era, colonial trade, and nowÖ beach life and style.

With their air of beach-view porches and sun-filled mooring docks beach lockers and cabinets celebrate Nantucket as well as Deauville. Making efficient use of every inch and centimeter, they hold towels and sailor's scarves, polo gear and golfing shoes.
