Loyd-Paxton’s Clock

We know that local designers Loyd Taylor and Paxton Gremillion are international design celebrities - even AD editor Paige Rense, who rarely comes to the hinterlands considers them tops in the country.  So, they’ve bequeathed the famous 1920s Vanderbilt Breaker’s French Boulle marquetry clock back to the Breakers in Newport, Rhode Island.  Originally part of a pair that was commissioned by Consuelo Vanderbilt to redecorate , they were first auctioned in 1973; one is still at the Getty museum, and the other has been given by Loyd-Paxton.  When you’ve got the greatest goods in the world, why not share?
