It would also appear that AD' 'International Interiors' is the only publication to display his interiors.<br /><br />My interest lies in the fact that he was also a furniture designer, no doubt not on a huge scale but probably to fit requirements on his jobs.<br /><br />One such piece was a table that cropped up in the Bill Blass collection in 2003 - lot 20:<br /><br />http://www.sothebys.com/app/live/lot/LotDetail.jsp?sale_number=N07928&live_lot_id=20<br /><br />Whilst the description makes no mention of a signature, I'd bet my bottom dollar that the buyer & underbidders spotted the hand-written / scratched words - Jean P Hagnauer. This would almost certainly have been followed by a 'No. 1/2/3/5 etc.'<br /><br />The table has the feel of Philippe Hiquily - perhaps only in the use of petrified wood & metal - but it has a thousand times more charm & humour.<br /><br />Anyway, my long ramble is in hope that others might have come across works by this unusual & talented antiquaire.....Off the Listhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04632933402027089491noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34961211.post-16001740017841633102010-08-09T16:35:13.027-04:002010-08-09T16:35:13.027-04:00Can you do a post on your favorite contemporary le...Can you do a post on your favorite contemporary leopard print fabrics? I've got my heart set on leopard dining chairs, but can't seem to find the fabric. The ideal for me would have the coloration and "markings" (as a repeat) of the real thing. I'm also partial to velvets and velours for their furry look and feel.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09835626237111739507noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34961211.post-64569672656179151972010-08-08T17:52:28.627-04:002010-08-08T17:52:28.627-04:00I am loving the blue and leopard combination and t...I am loving the blue and leopard combination and the mixing of the old with the new.Melissa@sosweetstationeryhttp://www.sosweetstationery.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34961211.post-6148473764980707082010-08-08T09:08:49.034-04:002010-08-08T09:08:49.034-04:00What a beautiful blue!

Yes, the interiors you show are mainly American and I've not heard of many of the decorators mentioned so I've learned something already, but looking through your posts and your book blog I have seen various books that I have in my small decorating-books library - Dorothy Draper, Colefax & Fowler (of course!), Dorothy Rodgers, Nancy Lancaster and others. Your blog is like one of the very best interiors magazines - I am so glad to have found it, and by pure chance!<br />Margaret P (England)galanthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14190356279359463949noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34961211.post-27271974162478003742010-08-06T23:04:22.813-04:002010-08-06T23:04:22.813-04:00Really stunning apartment.

Hagnauer was one of MC's very favorite places to shop (and then mark up exponentially of course), and in these photos of his residence, I think an overlap in taste is apparent - that crazy floral carpet is very similar to an archival MC one called "Duc de Morny", if indeed it isn't the same.Emily Evans Eerdmanshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12434821015450147843noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34961211.post-55632899521756451082010-08-06T08:46:03.528-04:002010-08-06T08:46:03.528-04:00Magnus- I could not have said it better myself.

There is much to study and learn from here. Two small lessons- the glass topped steel side table which looks so well here. The French seem to excel at combining the contemporary with the old without the jarring and forced effect it can have when attempted by less experienced hands. The second is the apple green table cloth in the dining room. In a vacuum, it's not a color combination most of us would think of. In the flesh, it's sublime.magnushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09181183756484194127noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34961211.post-4104397642664642112010-08-06T08:21:40.982-04:002010-08-06T08:21:40.982-04:00I too adore blue and leopard - in fact they both r...I too adore blue and leopard - in fact they both reside in my living room!
