Blue Velvet and Carved Cream in a Collector's Salon
This room achieves something remarkable: four identical chairs facing each other create a perfectly democratic conversation circle — no sofa, no hierarchy, just four Huntington Manor Lounge Chairs in saturated blue velvet arranged around a creamy Maison cocktail table. The chairs' hand-carved details are extraordinary — scrolled arms terminating in shell motifs, turned and fluted front legs, and carved back crests — all finished in a soft cream that makes the rich blue upholstery sing. Behind, the Maison Display Cabinet rises 90 inches, its glass-paneled doors revealing carefully arranged china and decorative objects within a gold-toned metal frame.
The Huntington Manor Lounge Chair is one of Marge Carson's most deeply carved designs. At 42.25 inches deep, it provides the kind of deep-seated comfort usually reserved for sofas, while the 41-inch back height supports the head and shoulders. The shell-motif arm carvings require exceptional skill, each shell hand-shaped from solid hardwood with individually defined ridges and curves. The Maison round table at center features the collection's signature natural wood tone with a fluted edge, its low profile maintaining sightlines across the conversation group.
Featured Pieces
Huntington Manor Lounge Chair
The Huntington Manor Lounge Chair embodies refined traditional elegance with Neoclassical influences, featuring a gracefully swept-back silhouette with scrolled arms, intricate hand-carved acanthus leaf detailing, and ornately turned bun feet finished in a lustrous antique silver-champagne gilt. The frame's elaborate carved woodwork is juxtaposed beautifully against the sumptuous teal-blue ribbed velvet upholstery, accented by a continuous nailhead trim that traces the chair's curves and reinforces its formal, tailored sensibility. This statement piece would serve as a sophisticated focal point in a formal living room, a grand master suite sitting area, or an opulent study where classic European-inspired interiors, jewel-toned color palettes, and layered textural richness define the design language.
Maison Display Cabinet
This striking display cabinet embodies a sophisticated transitional aesthetic, seamlessly bridging Art Deco sensibility with contemporary refinement through its tall, architectural silhouette and precise geometric grid framework. The piece features a warm espresso-toned wood cabinet body with elegant silver-leaf trim detailing along the frame edges, while the base transitions dramatically into sleek champagne-silver metal legs with a distinctive X-stretcher configuration that elevates the entire composition with a lightness unexpected for its scale. Antiqued mirror panels forming the cabinet's back interior create a beautifully aged, atmospheric backdrop that adds depth and luminosity to the displayed objects, while interior LED lighting enhances the jewel-box presentation quality. This cabinet would be an exceptional statement piece in a formal dining room, a grand foyer, or a sophisticated living space designed in a transitional, Hollywood Regency, or contemporary glam aesthetic, particularly in interiors that celebrate the interplay of warm wood tones against metallic finishes.
Maison Cocktail Table
The Maison Cocktail Table embodies a refined Art Deco-transitional aesthetic, marrying classical grandeur with restrained modernism through its generous round silhouette and dramatically arched, fluted apron that flows seamlessly into four elegantly tapered legs. The reeded detailing along the skirt introduces rhythmic texture and depth, while the silver-leafed accents at the apron edge and polished metal sabots at the leg feet create a sophisticated interplay between warm and cool metallic tones. The antiqued, stone-like tabletop — rendered in muted olive, pewter, and warm taupe — evokes aged verre églomisé or fossilized limestone, lending an air of collected luxury against the deep espresso wood framework. This table would anchor a formal living room, a grand hotel-inspired salon, or a richly layered interior featuring velvet upholstery, lacquered case goods, and jewel-toned textiles — equally at home in a Hollywood Regency setting or a contemporary neoclassical space that values artisanal craftsmanship and timeless elegance.
