ABOUT | Scott & Bowne Fine Art & Furnishings
John Koch sees SCOTT & BOWNE in Kent as the perfect opportunity as the curator to present a more focused, and forward-looking vision of the ideal interior. He has edited the fine art, furnishing at SCOTT & BOWNE to represent a wide variety of items considered the finest examples of their period or innate design and technique. The concept of showing both fine art and furniture is now reported as a trend, however combining the fine art galley with antiques and design is not a new direction for John Koch. This is one reason his work has been singled out by most of the major shelter magazines for nearly thirty years. John knows we live with both modes of décor at home and at work, so he presents them together, naturally as they ultimately reside. He hopes to inspire and motivate his clients to decorate their residences with accouterments that resonate on a personal level, the hallmark masterful interior design.
At SCOTT & BOWNE, John Koch wants every piece on the floor to epitomize the quality of its manufacture, aesthetic and intrinsic appeal, evidenced by superior materials and consummate design. The sum of this assemblage of art and furnishings coalesces into what John Koch refers to as "The New Eclecticism".
In 1983, SCOTT and BOWNE, LLC founder John Koch began dealing antiques, art and estate furnishings out of his first retail loft space in New York City’s West Chelsea. John Koch Antiques , and soon became a primary source for decorators, dealers and television and film industry creative New York Magazine proclaims John Koch’s style of presentation “Hip without the Hype”, GOTHAM magazine awarded him Best Treasure Trove and called his store , “a big, big, secret”. Famed production designer Santo Loquasto described his experiences at John Koch’s establishment in Architectural Digest to be “like mining for uranium…my favorite place to shop”.
The gallery at SCOTT & BOWNE will present six to eight art exhibitions a year. These shows will represent a range of work from the contemporary to the antique. For John, the coordination of work by talented and underrepresented local artists with modern and traditional pieces by well-known masters is his most thrilling enterprise.
