Designer Angele Parlange's Manhattan apartment Lonny, December 2010 Photo by Patrick Cline
I didn't recognize the 'vintage' wallpaper on these panels until I saw this close-up.
Even then, I thought, 'Is it....? Could it be....?'
a view of our master bath — now completely gutted for a re-do
It is. The same wallpaper that was in our master bathroom.
Folks, this is probably the closest I will ever come to being in Lonny.
chair from the Tony Duquette Tastemaker Tag Sale One Kings Lane
I've recently discovered a new blog that I like, Sybaritic . William has a good eye. Saturday, he featured a few of the Tony Duquette items from the One Kings Lane Tastemaker Tag Sale.
That chair from the sale really looked familiar....
my chair
Here's my chair. So similar, aren't they....? I suspect both chairs are from the Victorian era. They are made of mache with mother-of-pearl inlay and hand-painting. I really do love mine. You know me, I'm a neutral gal, so a piece like this kicks a room up. I bought mine at an estate auction a few years ago. At the time, I wondered if I paid too much. I think I spent around $225.
It's a safe bet the Duquette chair went for lots more. Gotta love local auctions. Don't miss them when you have the chance.
(And I like the legs on my chair better....)
