Formal Dining Room for English Manor Residence
The formal dining room in this English Manor residence exemplifies the high style of modern classicism that embraces sophisticated romanticism and understated elegance. The space is beautifully proportioned and balanced, and is refreshing in its refined simplicity. The architectural millwork detailing which envelopes the room, on all four sides and ceiling, creates a sense of structure and symmetry to the space.
The refined recessed-panel millwork is glazed in a soft white for a clean, classic elegant look. The focal point of the room is an original modern painting by Mary Rousseaux. The beautiful, soft composition and coloration of the painting is counterbalanced with an antique mahogany Neoclassical sideboard and glass hutch that is built into the room and a vintage iron door that leads to a wine room.
The formal dining room is open to the main gallery that bisects the residence, and is placed directly on axis with the romantic English-style conservatory across the gallery hall.
The spaces interact and harmonize with each other, visually and literally flowing together, to create a cohesive composition. An antique Aubusson rug, in muted hues of coffee and navy, complement the rich blue Wedgewood glaze of the conservatory walls, unifying the spaces.
An exquisite hand-forged iron chandelier by Ironware hangs above the trestle table, adding a romantic note; while a silver haze meteor bowl adds a modern touch. The windows are purposefully bare in a modern style; while the aged patina of the French-style chairs lend a romantic ambiance.
