AFA Autumn 2018

2018 Antiques & Fine Art 41 At this seaside home, the dining room makes you feel as if you are right on the water. It’s wallpapered with a life-size mural of the shore at a local beach. The braided rug, made to resemble a Japanese sand garden, is from Country Braid House. The dining table was commissioned and built by Flammang Woodworking. The chandelier was custom made by Mathieu Lustrerie, and the chairs, with their wave-shaped backs, are by JM Upholstery. The library speaks for itself: It’s “calm, cool and collected.” With chocolate brown walls and blue accents, its sophisticated look doesn’t sacrifice comfort. As modern as this room looks, it’s filled with antique treasures from around the globe. A custom area rug, inspired by the work of English textile designer Lucienne Day, was commissioned to Anthony Monaco Carpet & Textiles. The swoop chair covered in cowhide is from Guinevere Antiques in London. The kidney shaped table is from Domus. The pair of double swing-arm sconces is from David Weeks Studio.
