The front entry hall leads to the front staircase going to the second floor, and also runs right through the house and opens into the back of the house where the family room has views onto the countryside. The two orientals flanking the open entry both have strong reds which add warmth to the dark floors. The small English dresser beside the stairs is also an antique which we brought in to give some gravitas to the elegance of the great stairwell. The mirror above it is an American antique Shield mirror. It softens the right angles of the dresser and reflects light back into the foyer.
