From the apartment of Los Angeles antiques dealer Lee Stanton, comes this perfect little photo of what I think is such a flawless vignette. I'm nuts about the early Colefax & Fowler lacquered cabinet with the gold accents and the fabric backed doors. The alabaster Palladian Dome sculpture keeps this arrangement from looking ordinary, and the gold band painted on shade transforms the lamp. With this simple table, Stanton shows you how to mix antique neoclassical accents with modern pieces, and make it work. And make it interesting.
