Historic Refresh: After
This seating group includes a painting of the Reception in Richmond honoring the Marquis de Lafayette. Lafayette's portrait is to the right of the painting. A new Williamsburg Lord Dunmore tea table is a reproduction of one which was used in the Governor's Palace in Williamsburg in colonial times. A tilt top table with birdcage mechanism on the right, and the Pembroke table on the left, now allow the lamps to be at the same height. With the talller tables, and a new Martha Washington armchair, the very tall wing chair now seems to be the perfect height for the space. All upholstery was either reupholstered or cleaned. Four new custom pillows were fabricated out of two old ones, by adding the navy blue velvet "frame" around the print, and new trims. An new oriental rug rests on the refinished hardwood floor. Walls, trim and ceilings were repainted in stronger colors, for greater contrast. The parameters of the project included retaining the existing window treatments, but they were taken down, cleaned and reinstalled after the room was repainted. Aluminum miniblinds were replaced with wood blinds. Room design and redesign by Linda H. Bassert, Masterworks Window Fashions & Design, LLC. Photography by Bob Narod, Photographer, LLC.
