AFA Summer 2019

2019 Antiques & Fine Art 75 Suzanne Lovell Inc. ’s Acanthus Award-winning restoration and modernization of a 1923 apartment by leading Chicago architect Howard von Doren Shaw includes this stunning and dramatic library. The original English oak millwork was ebonized to match the circa-1912 Dagobert Peche large scale, cubic-form ebonized walnut bergéres, inlaid with Bakelite and produced for the Austrian Villa of Toscana Gmunden; acquired from Bernd Goeckler. The sofa was designed after an example by Josef Hoffmann at Palais Stoclet in Brussels. A circa-1920 gray and white striated marble coffee table on scrolling bronze support is by Edgar Brandt, above which hangs a circa-1940s Venini & Co “diamante” textured glass pendant; both were acquired from Bernd Goeckler. Suzanne Lovell Inc., with Orley Shabahang, designed the black and taupe silk custom carpet after eminent French Art Deco designer Émile-Jacques Ruhlmann. The narwhal tusks that flank the fireplace were acquired by the clients during one of their trips abroad. Photo by Eric Piasecki SUZANNE LOVELL, INC. 225 W.
