Furniture
and furnishings
A wide assortment of period antiques, as if they
had been collected over time, will always give a
luxurious impression.
Foregoing massive tables in living rooms in
favour of smaller accent tables, and tufted
ottomans as cocktail tables will work well.
Centre tables, and game tables are functional
and decorative. Tufted furniture in general
works as does French and English fauteuils.
Canopy beds come to mind as possibilities
for bedrooms, along with carved exposed
wood daybeds for secondary bedrooms and
multipurpose rooms.
Large framed mirrors in stained woods and
gilded finishes are a must, and should be placed
freely. From simple to highly adorned, they will
work in traditional to modern spaces.
Case pieces are usually highly decorated with
carving, inlay or marquetry, or even painted.
The addition of a few these exquisite pieces can
transform a room immediately.
