NYC Apartment for Art Collector
The subdued neoclassicism continues in the bedroom. Paintings in this room have a more restful palette than those in the living room, and include snowscapes.

The glass-fronted cabinet houses the only thing other than his art collection that our client brought with him from his old home — a beautiful leather-covered collection of the works of William Shakespeare that he inherited from his father.

Two small paintings in the hallway are given more importance by the Louis XVI style table, on which rests a classical bust. The black Chinese tea-caddy and the black banding on the table pick up the shadows in the paintings.
