A Lucky Omen

Talisman has opened a second store in Belgravia, offering an eclectic mix of vintage and
contemporary design.

What: Housed in a Georgina building on Ebury Street, the newly opened Talisman store (alongside the New King's Road flagship) is an emporium of vintage and contemporary designs in jewel-like colours, offering a carefully edited selection of furniture, accessories and sculpture spanning design periods and continents.

Who to know: Owner Ken Bolan- 'I've scoured the world and sourced each piece at Talisman. Each chair, table, lamp......everything is authentic and has its own fascinating story.'

Signature Style: Talisman's reputation lies in its reinterpretation of vintage pieces and bespoke commissions, from upholstering a 19th century day bed in a contemporary and vibrant fabric to lacquering a 1950s dining table in an unexpected and vivid colour, giving it a completely new lease of life.

Design Classics: Highlights in the new store include furniture and accessories by designers such as Milo Baughman, Karl Springer, Philip and Kelvin LaVerne, Paul Evans and artisans Curtis Jere. Murano glass sits alongside 1970s Rougier sculptural lamps whilst a sparkling silver Paco Rabanne space curtain create a dramatic back drop for a pair of rare 18th century marble busts.

Outside: There is a sizable sculpture garden where Talisman will exhibit contemporary sculpture alongside its collection of exterior furnishings.
