An Eye For Refinement

Morning Light: A 1968 portrait by French painter André Minaux sets the tone for the first-floor drawing room. “She has that little bit of pink,” says Ann. “We put her right over the classical Georgian fireplace and suddenly the room got very feminine.” Sketches by Ben Long and two still lifes by Jill Hooper round out the room’s luxe vibe.

In the foyer, apricot-hued silk wall coverings and coordinating curtains provide an elegant backdrop for a pair of works by mid-century German expressionist painter Otto Neumann and portraits by contemporary classical realists Daniela Astone and Charles Weed.
