About:

Always a collector, Alexander Widener's love of decorative arts, textiles, and interiors began as a child in Pennsylvania. This passion blossomed into a career in the textile world, where he has worked on brand-building and marketing for Matouk, Sister Parish textiles, and Samuel & Sons.

He now owns Widener Company, an interiors shop & guest cottage in coastal Maine, where he lives with his husband, Bradly, and little dog, Rudy.
