Finer Things: Yachts, Picassos, and Ferraris. Like an eBay for the super-rich, .official is a platform for buying and selling rare art, luxury boats, and more.

For nearly two decades, Captain James Ballard navigated a world most glimpse only on Instagram—captaining superyachts for the ultra-wealthy. His job? Making the impossible possible. A last-minute private jet? Dinner reservations where no one takes them? A luxury car for a day in port? “The bare minimum wasn’t an option,” he says, recalling his days at sea, which included a stint helming one of the Qatari royal family’s seven vessels.
When we spoke by phone, Ballard, now 43, had just finished a six-hour marathon call wheeling and dealing Andy Warhol prints. A far cry from life aboard a superyacht—but not so different in spirit. After his last boat was sold unexpectedly, Ballard pivoted from solving problems for the ultra-wealthy to building House of Assets, a new luxury marketplace offering everything from Picasso paintings to fractional shares in racehorses.

Since the pandemic, the craze for tablescaping has been devouring Manhattan. Festive table settings have been around since the 1700s, originating as yet another way for the affluent to display their wealth to guests. The term “tablescaping” didn’t come into use until the 1960s. It was the British designer David Hicks who coined the term, defining tablescapes as “objects on stands connected in some way by texture, color, or interest. Tablescapes are not haphazard. It is the discipline of selection.”

While nobody knows exactly how much money is spent on tablescaping within the overall $125 billion home décor market, there is widespread agreement that it is on the rise. The pandemic certainly played a part: we were stuck at home, focusing on Instagram accounts that allowed us to fantasize about the great parties that might be in our future.

Beyond the polished fiction of Miss Moneypenny lies a remarkable truth: women were the quiet architects of British intelligence. Their stories, carefully extracted from declassified archives and family papers by historian Claire Hubbard-Hall, reveal an extraordinary landscape of service, intrigue and sacrifice.

Consider Agnes Blake, MI6’s first female agent, who served in the early 1900s - a widow whose continental connections and unremarkable appearance let her move freely through Kaiser Wilhelm’s Germany, gathering intelligence that would prove crucial to Britain’s early warning systems. Or Kathleen Pettigrew - the real inspiration for Moneypenny - who rose from working-class roots to become a Chief Executive Officer in Whitehall, wielding influence far beyond Ian Fleming’s fictional creation.

Perhaps most intriguing is Winifred Spink, whose meticulous diary hints at involvement in some of history’s pivotal moments, including Rasputin’s assassination.

Discover how these remarkable women shaped a century of intelligence work.
