NKOTB: Lucca Antiques
Susan and Stephen Keeney decided to open a New York outpost of their Santa Monica shop, Lucca Antiques, because a lot of the designers they work with have clients here, too. "And when you’re spending this kind of money, you deserve to look at the piece," says Susan. "You need to see the patina, the provenance."
