I was lucky enough to be in her New York apartment when she lived in the upper 60's . The Apartment was all you have said but the most fabulous room was her bedroom which I have never got over . Totally covered all walls and doors in a magnificent Chinoise scenic paper it was breathtaking .

Speciality pieces such as this were very popular in NYC in the 80s, usually custom made after Karl Mann. In addition to exotic coverings like shagreen (I have both a crocodile and a mosaic horn table by Mann), burlap and cheesecloth were used along with linen to give a textured finish for a painted glaze. These very useful, and I think still stylish, tables are sometimes seen in so-called second tier auctions in NYC and on 1stdibs. This size, with radius or waterfall ends, was sometimes called a brunching table and a smaller version, a telephone table.The Devoted Classicisthttp://tdclassicist.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34961211.post-80953404627534497272011-01-14T09:06:46.554-05:002011-01-14T09:06:46.554-05:00Good design is timeless!
