"Jean-Paul Beaujard's New York City Apartment\nThe lyrical Napoleonic spirit of the interior designer's duplex seems a world away from modern-day Manhattan\nInterior designer Jean-Paul Beaujard at home in his Manhattan duplex; with its striped walls and Empire treasures, the apartment evokes the masculine glamour of 19th-century France.\nMinton garden stools stand before a gilt-wood sofa covered in a velvet from Stark in the salon; the armchair is by Jacob Fr\u00E8res.\nThe salon holds a massive 18th-century English bookcase whose polished darkness is offset by the brilliant blue upholstery of the Jacob Fr\u00E8res mahogany settee and chairs; the porcelain urn in the corner is an 1878 work by S\u00E8vres. The wood floor has been ebonized and left bare.\nA 1920s Bagu\u00E8s ceiling fixture is reflected in the 19th-century French mirror; the folding screen at left is Wiener Werkst\u00E4tte, the cased-glass lamps date from the 1880s, and the late-19th-century marble bust is by Antonin Merci\u00E9.\nA doorway curtained with a velvet from Stark.\nIn the dining room, the curtains are of a vintage fabric by Madeleine Castaing; the table is set with circa-1880 Viennese silver, a Russian opaline-glass centerpiece, and a Matouk linen cloth. The chairs are 1940s American.\nThe home-office bulletin board bears a colorful portrait of Castaing and swatches of Beaujard's favorite fabrics, including Verri\u00E8res by Brunschwig &amp;amp; Fils, a blue floral print.\nWalls covered in a silk stripe by Duralee give the guest room a tentlike character; circa-1880 paintings by Sirvent are displayed above the antique campaign bed, which is dressed in a bedcover made from a leopard print by Pierre Frey.\nA 1920 painting by French Symbolist Leonard Sarluis overlooks an Empire settee; the marble mantel and the pair of glass lamps are all 1880s French.\nFramed 18th-century engravings depicting Chinese battle scenes line a stairway."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
