Century Design Scavenger: Bronze & Vanilla Dressing Room

A lot forties, a bit fifties and just a touch seventies. Even with the mix of eras and styles we think the design through-line here is the color scheme, making it all work together. All prices, photos and links are below the jump:

Mirror: by Curtis Jere. Brass and chrome. $1600. US, 1977.

Art Deco Table: by Howell Furniture Company. Bronzed iron, glass. $850. US, 1920's.

Dresser: by TH Robsjohn Gibbings for Widdicomb. Ivory lacquer with brass hardware. $3900. US, 1940's.

Slipper Chairs: In the manner of Billy Haines. Shantung upholstery, wood. $4800. US, 1940's.

Mid-Century Chandelier: Brass, glass. $1400. Germany, 1950's.

Janel, do you put these collections together yourself? I really liked this one.

And the collection recently that had the wood and white:

The ONLY problem I have with the collections is the location of the decimal point. If it could just be moved one or two places to the left, I would be much happier. Ha!

Thanks so much for making those posts.
