In the salon of an 18th century house, a Gustavian-inspired chair from the 1940s sits in front of the window. Behind, a 19th century console displays local pottery, a stamped Syrian leather platter, and a portrait of George Sand. Above it is a Belgian mirror in a wood and leather frame.
In another corner of the salon, light cream painted paneling diffuses the light softly throughout the room.
A view from the dining room into the living area. On the table, simple white faïence dishes rest on a white linen cloth.
The bedroom. The Louis XVI carved wood bed has been left free of upholstery, allowing the headboard to act as a frame for the texture of the wall.
Above the salon fireplace hangs a 19th century engraving, as well as a mirror in a wood frame painted to blend with the paneling.
This elegant house is home to a Brussels antique dealer, who spent three years delicately restoring a near-ruin to create an environment with warm authenticity. Scanned from an early 1990s Marie Claire Maison.
