First lady Laura Bush redid the Green Room in White House. The silk damask by Scalamandre she chose became the focal point of the whole space. It both anchors and enlivens the green walls and portraits.

The timeless beauty of Neoclassical is, surprisingly, deep rooted in nature and human’s relationship to them.

Here is Scalamandre Josephine 100% Silk Damask Classic Laurel Wreath Butterfly Neoclassical

Antique chairs from estate of John Jay. Before that they belonged to Alexander Hamilton. Two of America’s Founding Fathers.

From our client, “The chairs were in terrible shape when I found them, but that meant I could afford them, and then afford restoration once I found someone I trusted to do the job. If the provenance is correct, they came from the John Jay house in Bedford, NY, and before that belonged to Alexander Hamilton. May or may not be true, but they are really beautiful and deserve beautiful covers.”

When every bit of things were precious and meant to last for decades and generations. A furniture should be used for at least equal amount of years that takes to grow the tree.

Restoration, giving a historical piece new life, is so rewarding.

Client already has the chairs restored but when they found Lee Jofa Le Cygne Leeda & Swan Silk Lampas, they had to redo the job—the neoclassical silk honors its history and also achieves aesthetic perfection. Merely 1.5 yards of Lee Jofa Le Cygne was needed.
