The extremely inviting ambiance of this formal living room stems from the agile use of several soft greens and golds in the exquisite, understated fabrics to play off the persimmons of the oversize 19th century Sultanabad carpet and the teal green marble of the fireplace. In this way, the furnishings underscore the art in the Oriental rug, on the wall and the Chinese horse antiquities. Design: Marks and Marks Design
