Regency Chinoiserie inspires Newport Additions

HIGH POINT, NC: April 2005 — A private collection of fine Regency Chinoiserie furniture inspired the Newport April 2005 Market additions.

The introductions include a tall English bookcase with black lacquer and gold leafed scenes and carvings.  A five foot diameter dining table with a gilded dolphin base and a radial designed faux tortoise top also headlines the new items.  Others include a fine set of quartetto tables with aged Umber Chinoiserie scenes.  A tri-level corner table provides useful function in otherwise wasted space.  A folding game table, a brass gallery vanity table, and a mahogany inlaid sofa table complete the wood collection.

Seating includes interesting right or left crested sofas and tub chair, both featuring hand-tufted detail.

The Newport Mansions Collection draws upon Newport’s rich artistic legacy from the Gilded Age of the late 19^th century, a period when fine furnishings were the symbol of gracious living.  Furnishings from the summer homes of the nation’s most powerful families have been reproduced and adapted for today’s lifestyle.
