The definitive book on the legendary decorator Billy Baldwin, known as the "Dean of American Decorating," famous for his classical taste, streamlined modernism, and brilliant use of colour. In the tradition of Rizzoli’s Albert Hadley and David Hicks, this is the first fully illustrated account of the career of Billy Baldwin (1903–1983), one of the most important decorators of the twentieth century, whose work has influenced contemporary designers from Bunny Williams to Jeffrey Bilhuber.

19th Century Turned Wooden Billy Club, Perfectly Weighted with Rich Dark Patina A beautifully crafted 19th-century wooden billy club, lathe-turned from a single solid piece of hardwood, showcasing the fine craftsmanship and functional design of the period.

The piece remains strong and structurally sound, with just the right heft, ideal for display, collection, or personal / theatrical use. A small section of the rim near the handle has been intentionally flattened, likely to allow the club to rest securely on a flat surface without rolling. This antique billy club...
