Incollect Magazine - Issue 3

2022 Incollect Magazine 75 Sandy hues, a golden glow, and rich accents. In an elegant and gracious Hamptons home, walls dressed in hammered silk and a carpet of woven metallic leather create a shimmery backdrop for neutral, beachy color, taking cues from the nearby seashore. Contemporary, modern and antique pieces are combined to achieve a harmonious yet lively setting. In the foreground a nineteenth-century rope twist chair upholstered in creamy leather is paired with a gold ceramic faux bois side table by Christopher Spitzmiller. The sofa is a custom design, placed on either end are an antique mahogany bouillotte table with a marble top and pierced gallery, and a Meiji-period Japanese gold-and- lacquer robe chest used as a side table. A contemporary photograph is by Jean-Francois Jaussaud, who frequently photographs elegant and historic interiors, and the collages are by Jean-Charles de Ravenel, who incorporates period documents, antique maps, and other ephemera to create his intriguing compositions.
