Dorothy Draper And A Few Of Her Custom Pieces

What A Gal !


And what a gal I would be, if only I had accomplished just one half as much as Miss Draper !

This chair is what inspired this post.

It is functional Art.

Dorothy Draper Crown Chair
USA30's

These were designed for the Crown Room in the Fairmont Hotel here in San Francisco.

Price$1,650 ( I think this price is a bargain )
Measurements

height: (2 ft. 5 in.)

second height: (1 ft. 7 in.)

depth: (1 ft. 8 in.) 20" deep ? what could be better ?

width/length: (2 ft.) only 24" , how great ?

I might kill for this chair ...

And how great would it be

if I were writing this post while sitting in this chair ????

Beyond Princess !!!

These are silver plated handles on a set of night stands.

These look just like something I had custom made for a client. So, I definitely love them.

I could live quite nicely with these next to my bed.

These are from a hotel that Dorothy Draper did the interiors for.

Again, hotel furniture designed by Dorothy Draper.

I know you have seen the table toppers that they make out of painted tin, they add a false apron, in addition to the decorative surface. They are very fashionable and pricey.

HMMMMMM....I wonder where they might have come up with the idea ?

From Dorothy Draper tables perhaps ?

These look so heavy, I wonder what the wood type is ?
