Summer 2017

2017 Antiques & Fine Art 99 The living room was arranged with different seating areas to create intimate conversation groupings and to break the “perfection of symmetry.” The main focal point from this perspective is the original fireplace, which the team meticulously restored. Above it hangs a work by Milton Avery; to the left is Charles Henry Alston’s African Theme III of 1952-1953, in front of which is Joseph Csaky’s bronze Tête Cubiste (left), placed on a modernist commode in palm wood veneer and gilt bronze by Eugène Printz, from Tajan. The void to the right of the fireplace is elegantly filled with Béla Vörös’ Femme a la Cruche of 1930. The French Art Deco cabinet by Leon Jallot, circa 1925, is from H. M. Luther. Mercedes Matter’s Study for Tabletop Still Life, No. 6 , of 1938-1940, is on the side wall. Suzanne Lovell Inc., with Oscar Isberian, designed the silk area rug.
