I recently purchased some French Bridge Chairs from the 40s – they are weathered and beautiful camel colored leather– and i have a beautiful Alaine Richard rosewood buffet- I’m having trouble with the dining table. I love the table you have in one of your dining rooms– can you give any advice, favorite tables? I simply LOVE your work! Thank you for the inspiration!

Vicente responds:

Dear Jen – thanks for the support. It’s hard to suggest something without any kind of visual reference. Maybe a very contemporary table would be a good direction to take. You don’t want this to be a period room where everything is from one particular point of view, so consider something very simple to juxtapose against the French 1940’s. Be sure to send us a photo when it’s all done!

    V- I’m just back in town and saw your response– thank you!! But– how horrified am I that I forgot the attachment! I have no excuse except the lovely summer sun seeped into my brain! I am going to send the pictures I intended to send to Susan who was kind enough to send me a note. I agree– contemporary would be lovely! I love the table you designed with the steel base but I believe it was custom and you don’t sell them correct? Happy summer and thank you!
    ps the mirror is too small and will have a dark frame, gray rug for living room on the way and don’t judge me on the old table– it was my husband’s! :-)
