Jean Royere - 1935 French Art Deco Fire Screen

The materials are steel, bronze and marble.



I saw this and would absolutely use it for an inspiration to a room.



It is exquisite



It Could be so Very Regency-Hollywood !!! .....Cary Grant laying on the sofa in front of a burning fire wouldn't exactly hurt the over all atmosphere.

c1920 Gold Round Mirror From Spain - Surrounded By Leaves

Like I said, everything that is old is NEW AGAIN !

This is a dead ringer for one of the many ' gold, round mirrors surrounded by gold leaves ' that is being sold everywhere . And if you have wanted one and you have been shopping.......the prices vary, from really cheap to expensive.

But if you bought this.....when the current trend was over, you would have a reason for staying with the look.

Then again ..... you can head out to the consignment shops or the antique malls.
If you look, you will find it, because it is there !

You will have to be quick, when you see it, grab it , pay for it, then get out of there !
...Because someone just like me is right behind you .

Hip & New Antiques ?

This is a perfect example of how great and antique or repo can look when upholstered in a contemporary fabric or style.

Have fun with fabrics. "Make everything your own !"

Not that you're listening,
But I would do a bench seat ( one long seat cushion ).
And make a couple of contrasting pillows.

Multiple seat cushions look 'cheapo' to me .
Multiple cushions came about
from furniture manufacturers trying to save money on fabric.
They can use much smaller cut pieces of fabric ( scraps ) to cover multiple cushions, they need a much larger piece of fabric if it is a large cushion.
