The formal Living Room with its grand scale is an enchanting room.  Bathed in the warmth of it pistachio hued walls with magnificent crown moldings, the room evokes the grandeur of another place and time.  The marble fireplace with its magnificent mantel is topped by an antique French pier mirror from the 1800's.  Custom draperies by designer Deborah Broughton in rich muted fabrics were inspired by designs from draperies at the White House lending an aura of grace and historical significance.  The room will soon be furnished by a magnificent 6 piece Louis XV style salon set.  The set will feature a perfectly proportioned sofa and 4 arm chairs (fauteuils) upholstered in an elegant Goblain style tapestry fabric.  The table topped in elegant polished cream marble will round out the incredible suite.  All pieces in the suite have been hand carved and are expertly finished in rich gold leaf.  The classical Goblain style tapestry fabric used in finishing the sofa and chairs makes this magnificent salon suite suitable for a royal residence. The furnishings in the living room have been specifically selected to provide flexibility in arrangement and seating.
