What’s Old Is New Newly arrived at WILLIAM LAMAN ANTIQUES in Montecito’s Upper Village are the contents of a container from Europe—the results of the buying trip that Laman and interior designer Bruce Gregga recently made to Britain, France, and Italy. “You never know what you’ll find,” says Laman, but in this case the discoveries included wonderful 18th and 19thcentury furniture and accessories as well as period pieces by French furniture designer Pierre Chapo. Also among their finds are woven rattan pieces from the 1950s, harbingers, perhaps, of the next new thing. “The biggest trends are wicker and bamboo,” says Laman. “We saw a lot of that in the furniture markets in Europe.” 1496 E.
