I always use new custom upholstery when decorating on all of my jobs however, a room must have a patina, so it's important to mix in antiques and vintage items to avoid that 'showroom' look.
That means that I get to do a lot of shopping looking for singular items that will create a unique environment. Luckily I have pickers and there are many sites where you can find great things.
I like this tortoise shell that has been mounted as a lamp by Maison Jansen.
This pair of Italian sofas from the 70's are by Domino Industries. Great leather with just a nice patina.
Free form tables by Silas Seandal
On the other side of the spectrum is this steel and gilt bronze specimen table. You could put this just about anywhere.
An egyptian revival sofa. This type of seating, not comfortable as we're used to today give a room a nice sense of age.
I've always liked big shells.
Really great Regency chairs. These could live anywhere.
Well, that's what I am looking at today, perhaps some of these items will find homes in my client's homes....if not they will certainly provide inspiration.
