If one picture is worth a thousand words, then this one is worth a million! The history, the excitement of old New York is summed up here. The new film and the new book are fabulous too! I gave the book to my own mother for Mother's Day this year.

Above, the famous Rose Cumming chintz was used called "Carisbrooke" in the Beekman Place flat of Ms. Vanderbilt. I love the accoutrement displayed on the table, especially the silver flask! Michael Taylor placed a large order for Carisbrooke, at a time when the Rose Cumming firm was underperforming, and as the story goes, saved the day for them...
The decorator Billy Baldwin also used this chintz - similar to another one from Brunschwig and Fils...the brass "pharmacy" lamps aimed at the screen remind me of his studio apartment in the east 60's with the lacquered brown walls. Enjoy! DF *****
