BABOU New York

BABOU New York Our collection is an amalgam of unique, glamorous antiques and decorative arts, from the 17th century thru the 1970's.

We believe a knowledge of the furniture forms and techniques of the past is essential to an understanding of the present. Babou features furniture and decorative arts that have endured; pieces with history and stories to tell. Our namesake, Babou, was Salvador Dali's pet ocelot. We're inspired by Dali ~ the fun, fantastic and glamorously chic! Our founder, Catherine McCarthy exercises a discernin

g eye in the antiques trade. For over twenty years she managed several notable New York City galleries and has traveled the world sourcing great treasures. Catherine's extensive background in the decorative arts from the 17th thru 20th century influences Babou's inventory. We're inspired by pieces embodying timeless design and believe the blend of multiple eras provides a unique presentation of old world sophistication and modern chic.
