"Laura Hunt\nA Crisp New York Space With Belle Epoch Flair\n\"I never repeat myself,\" says Laura Hunt, who experimented with color and 19th-century style in her Manhattan pied-\u00E0-terre.\nThe living room features its original Belle Epoch fire surround and overmantel. Guy Regal fauteuil, with Cowtan Tout chinoiserie toile. Drapery stripe from Clarence House. Scalamandr\u00E9 stool fabric.\nOld-master etchings and engravings hang near a Swedish chest.\nHunt started with the Empire marble side table. \"Although a lot of the furniture is Swedish, I cover the realm of Europe.\" Brunschwig Fils daybed and center table fabrics. H. M. Luther Antiques boxes, candelabrum and urn on Bernd Goeckler Antiques pedestal.\nRows of 19th-century prints of Indian chiefs are displayed above a Phyllipa Marrian painting in the dining area. A crystal ball with red minerals rests on an 18th-century console. \"I like to do the unexpected. People walk in here and giggle.\" Chairs and console from Guy Regal. E. Braun Co. tablecloth.\nA birch Biedermeier fall-front secretary, which Hunt acquired \"before the Biedermeier craze,\" occupies a corner of the bedroom. \"It's my office,\" she remarks. Secretary, candlestick and urn from Sotheby's. Side chairs from Christie's. Italian jardiniere from H. M. Luther. Silver cup from Tiffany's.\n\"I don't usually do a girlie look,\" says Hunt, \"When I decorate, there's a subtle simplified elegance; this was a little more flamboyant for me.\" Antique toile from Hunt's daughter's former bedroom was recycled for the balloon shades, with Clarence House trim, and upholstery. Carpet from Stark."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
