Classicism
is timeless; the antithesis of “fad.”
Classically proportioned, designed and ornamented
pieces will always contribute a timeless elegance
to any room.
A
newly made piece in an earlier style—say that
of Louis-Philippe --a style which itself drew upon
earlier classical motifs, can be as important to a
successful room arrangement as any period antique
piece. It’s all in the proportion, the line
and that unmistakable detail.
Piranesi’s
inventory reflects this mixing of the period piece
and the classically designed contemporary piece.
