"Michael S. Smith Designs a New York City Apartment\nInterior designer Michael S. Smith shapes the decor of a New York City apartment to make the most of the museum-quality art collection on view.\nMichael S. Smith designed the interiors of this apartment\u2014renovated by architect Peter Pennoyer\u2014on Manhattan's Sutton Place for a financier and his wife. Works by Pablo Picasso and Henry Moore draw the eye from the entrance hall toward the gallery; the light fixture is by Herv\u00E9 Van der Straeten from Ralph Pucci International.\nIn the living room, a Moore sculpture is displayed on an 18th-century gilt-wood console from H. M. Luther with a Sicilian-jasper-veneered top. A pair of Empire fauteuils from Mallett stand beside a Carrara-marble mantel attributed to Sir John Soane, purchased from Chesney's. The armchairs covered in a silk stripe are by Jonas, and the cocktail table is by Magni Home Collection.\nA Francis Bacon portrait in the living room is juxtaposed with a Louis XVI sofa covered in a Jim Thompson silk.\nAnother Bacon is paired with antique Buddhas, one on an 18th-century Swedish porphyry-top table from H. M. Luther.\nA water lily painting by Claude Monet graces the dining room. An Empire chandelier from Perrin Antiquaires is installed above a Maison Jansen table from M. S. Antiques; the chairs are by Quatrain, and the antique Malayer carpet is from Mansour.\nIn the kitchen, Greek Key chairs by Jonas are pulled up to a table with a base by Craig Van Den Brulle; the ceiling lights are by Ralph Lauren Home.\nA painting by Italian Futurist Gino Severini is flanked by antique gilt-wood mirrors from Gerald Bland in the library. The Crillon sofa is by Mattaliano, and the carpet is late-19th-century Chinese.\nA painting by Liubov Popova on a library wall.\nBelow a Japanese screen in the media room is a sofa by Jasper covered in a Rose Tarlow fabric.\nThe room's Swedish neoclassical mirrors are from H. M. Luther, and the bed is dressed in D. Porthault linens; the 18th-century French chaise is covered in a Leli\u00E8vre floral.\nA painting by Edgar Degas is set against a hand-painted wall covering by de Gournay in the master bedroom; the gilt-wood chairs are upholstered in a Fortuny cotton.\nRosa Aurora and black Portoro marbles sheathe the wife's bath; the gold-plated hardware with rock-crystal knobs is by P. E. Guerin, and the bathtub is by Kohler.\nA walk-in closet features custom-made shelving."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
