"Sources : Insider Secrets of the AD100\nWhere the experts shop, commission specialty pieces, and hunt for treasures\n\"I bought a Regency penwork tabletop chest of drawers from the Brooke Astor estate sale at Sotheby's. I love anything done by hand, and penwork was drawn in ink to mimic inlay. The first example I ever purchased was a writing table in brown, white, and red, which I found at Colefax and Fowler in London in 1964. I have around 30 pieces now, mostly boxes and small tables. Every time I see another, I have to stop myself and say, \u2018Don't I have two of those already?'\"\n\nA tabletop penwork chest of drawers from Brooke Astor's estate.

And Dornbracht's Madison sink fittings with the old-fashioned hot and cold levers are classic\u2014plus it's a brand plumbers like to use.\"\n\nPhoto courtesy of Stark\n\"Maharam and Rogers &amp;amp; Goffigon are my go-tos for fabrics, Sandra Jordan for alpaca textiles, Loro Piana for anything.\"\n\nA Loro Piana double-faced camel-hair blanket.

Really anything you can think of.\"\n\nJEFFREY BILHUBER\n\n INTERIOR DESIGNER\n\n\"I don't do flea markets\u2014but I'm not one to miss a good church fair on a Sunday afternoon.\"\n\nPhoto courtesy of Scott Antique Markets\n\"My favorite source for custom-made carpets is V'Soske. I love going through their archive of samples from the 1960s and '70s. I don't send someone from my office to the showroom. I'd much rather go myself because it's such a delight.\"\n\n\"Kimono\" rug, designed by Robert Venturi &amp;amp; Denise Scott Brown.

It's hit- or-miss, but I've found some seriously good things there.\"\n\nPhoto: SeanPavonePhoto/Shutterstock.com\n\"In Milan, Guglielmo Miani's store, Larusmiani, has really handsome made-to-measure suits and coats. I am embarrassed to say I rarely buy furniture or become inspired by architecture in Milan, but in terms of fashion, the city is second to none.\"\n\nJOHN IKE\n\n\"One of my favorite antiques shops is Robertaebasta in Milan, which has the most incredible collection of 20th-century Italian design. It's probably the best source in the world for Gio Ponti pieces.\"\n\nA display at Larusmiani.

You might as well back your truck up to it.\"\n\nPhoto: Sarah Dorio, courtesy of Revival\n\"The finest specialty wall finishers I have found anywhere are employed by Atelier de Ricou, just outside Paris.

Modern Way has fabulous finds from the desert town's heyday. Think Arthur Elrod, Steve Chase, and 1970s luxury.\"\n\nPhoto courtesy of Modern Way\n\"One of my favorite artisans is Tara Chapas, a custom weaver in Brooklyn. Her textiles aren't bright or loud but they still jump out at you, and they're so great to touch.\"\n\nPhoto courtesy of Chapas Textiles\n\"Sri Threads in Brooklyn specializes in antique Japanese folk textiles, especially indigo-dyed cottons. It's the ideal place to start when you want to create a unique color palette. There's also an amazing antiques shop in the Saint-Germain district of Paris called Yveline Antiquit\u00E9s.

It has a modern, almost Georg Jensen shape.\"\n\nPhoto courtesy of James D. Julia Auctioneers, Fairfield, Maine\n\"Whether starting a project or finding the perfect finishing touch, I hightail it to Claremont fabrics.

I've created entire rooms out of their luscious silk jacquards.\"\n\nClaremont's Brocatelle D' Amboise Grandes Eaux silk jacquard.

The shop also has plenty of Knoll and Joe D'Urso designs, including those steel D'Urso tables that are becoming rare.\"\n\nPhoto courtesy of Sputnik Modern\n\"A great tile source is Detroit's Pewabic Pottery. When people talk in hushed tones about intact original bathrooms from the 1920s, Pewabic is usually part of the package.\"\n\nPhoto courtesy of Pewabic Pottery\n\"Nothing beats the March\u00E9 aux Puces in Paris. But go on a Sunday because it is quieter and you can look more carefully.\"\n\nA table lamp, at left, purchased at the March\u00E9 aux Puces, in a room Montoya designed for the Kips Bay show house.

The beautiful finishes of the fixtures work in traditional or modern settings.\"\n\nPhoto courtesy of Remains Lighting\n\"Antiques shopping in London is always fruitful. The rich were so rich and had houses so large that there is an enormous quantity of things available. Go looking for decanters and you'll find 10,000, each as beautiful as the next.\"\n\nAntiques dealer Mallett in London.
