NIGHTLIGHT: Henry and James Deakin and their Remarkable Cufflinks at Scully and Scully

SCULLY & SCULLY CELEBRATES 75 YEARS OF RETAIL ON PARK AVENUE

MEET DESIGNERS OF THE WORLD’S FINEST CUFFLINKS SINCE 1786

Park Avenue’s landmark store Scully & Scully last night hosted a Champagne and hors d’oeuvres reception as part of their 75^th Anniversary and to view the finest cufflinks made today.

After 75 years Scully & Scully - the fine home store well-known for its American and imported furniture, exquisite tableware, gifts and jewelry, and for its personalized customer service including interior design, bridal registry, tabletop consulting and corporate gifts - remains one of New York City’s most respected luxury retailers.

Henry and James Deakin, whose family has been making cufflinks in England since 1786, showed their extensive collection of fabulous cufflinks! We cannot decide which we like the best yet but we saw some nice Bulldogs for you New Haven grads and we liked Henry's interactive skull cufflinks with diamonds. The lobsters were lovely also-they reminded us of our amazing lunch of lobster spaghetti at Serafina. For 7 generations they have built their international reputation with over 1,000 designs and count celebrities and members of royalty among their clients. Their cufflinks range from inexpensive, stylish, silver or colorful enamel designs, to dress sets in gold, platinum and diamonds.

WHAT: Champagne and hors d’oeuvres reception to celebrate Scully & Scully’s 75^th Anniversary and meet brothers Henry and James Deakin from England, manufacturers of the world’s finest cufflinks since 1786.

"As you know from my past features, Peachy Deegan and I were in the same class at Boston College prior to either of us becoming entrepreneurs. When we played together on the BC Alumni softball team in Central Park years ago, she mentioned she could not find a great dentist in Manhattan and could often be found networking on her phone in the outfield hiding from the ball. She was my second patient ever in 2006 when I opened my dental practice; I was one of the first sponsors on Whom You Know and the first Mover and Shaker featured in 2009 and have worked with her continuously since. She's even talked her friends that are doctors into being my patients, and they subsequently send their hospital colleagues. I don't know anyone that is as great of a networker and writer as Peachy, nevermind that she is upstanding and always good for her word. Cosmopolitan Dental is so happy to be in the company of the caliber of major brands she works with today, and although she will tell you a million ways to get your teeth dirty between Peachy's Picks, Terrific Takeout and Peachy's Pantry, Peachy Deegan will tell you there is only one way to get your teeth clean!"
