European heritage

By Furniture Today Staff -- Furniture Today, October 14, 2001

European looks — ranging from English country to the French Louis Philippe — take on a slightly more casual, comfortable feel. But the classic traditional elements that characterize these pieces are still in place — carvings, distressed or antiqued finishes, beautiful wood grains and timeless fabrics.

CLASSIC APPEAL This occasional chair from bassett uses extensive carving to make a classic, traditional style statement.

GRAND SCALE ELEGANCE This corner vitrine, an addition to FRANCESCO MOLON GIEMME'S 18th Century collection, is a power piece in mahogany-finish olive ash burl veneer.

LONDON CLASSIC The Bedford sofa, part of the Harrods Fine Furniture collection from highland house, is still very English in feel, although somewhat less formal than earlier upholstery introduced in the collection.

TEST OF TIME The Schooner entry chest from French heritage achieves understated refinement with a mix of cherry and walnut styled along French antique furniture.
