about Emerson Bailey
Emerson Bailey is an interior design studio with an exclusive gallery program showcasing a curation of the world’s most sought-after European antiques alongside mid-century and contemporary design.
Helmed by Susan Weiss, Emerson Bailey offers a distinctive interiors practice that blends design expertise with art and object curation, creating spaces that are as functional as they are evocative. With a deep understanding of historical and contemporary aesthetics, the studio collaborates with clients to craft interiors that feel timeless, layered, and deeply personal. Emerson Bailey approaches interior design as a narrative, where each piece—whether an 18th-century Gustavian cabinet or a modernist sculptural chair—contributes to a rich and meaningful composition.
Founded in 2016, the gallery arms’s extraordinary and approachable display of rare historic works alongside vintage and contemporary design has made Emerson Bailey a national destination for clients to explore the often inaccessible world of fine antiques.
Emerson Bailey offers a global perspective on the creation of exceptional spaces, prioritizing the experiential nature of interiors through meaningful objects that bring depth and soul to a space. With a gallery in Bozeman, Montana and a robust e-commerce platform, Emerson Bailey continues to redefine the intersection of history, design, and living environments.
FOUNDER & PRINCIPAL
SUSAN WEISS
The daughter of an architect who was also an avid collector—and the company’s namesake, Harold Emerson Bailey—by an early age Susan was surrounded by the rare. Starting from childhood, Susan traveled extensively to expand her global viewpoint, looking at each destination as a unique discovery she brought back to hone her design perspective.
Studying design at university, Susan embraced interior design as the marriage of those special finds she constantly sourced and the emotionally resonant environments that housed them. In 1994 Susan launched her design firm, Bailey Interiors, which in 2016 evolved into the full-service Emerson Bailey of today.
