6th CENTURY BUDDHA in the sitting room, these pages, keeps
watch over the drawings room's rare 18th-century Philadelphia
pieces. Custom woven and colored wood damask upholstery
plays up the forms of the double-peaked sofa, wing chair,
and side chair grouped around a mahogany Logan table.
Cushions on the sofa are made from 18th-century dress
silk brocade. A CHIPPENDALE chair and Bombay chest of
drawers, ca. 1775, top left, keep company with a 1768
pastel by John Copley. THE INTRICATELY CARVED armchair,
detail, top right, is a prime example of the Rococo style
in American furniture. |
