Tiepolo Clouds and Cygnet Armoire

I continue to crackle with inspiration from the 1750's in Italy and the 1930's in Paris. These sources fuse to form the new vignette at 98 Avenue Road and mark a further development in our Classical, Annees Trentes and Blue Room themes in a way that could only happen today. These new products are exclusive designs, now ready to be made up in our Toronto workshops to your specifications.

Tiepolo Wallpaper panels

Click to Enlarge

Behind the frolicking deities on the murals of Italian palazzi are divine little cloud wisps in blue-green skies. Simplified and enlarged, these clouds of our new wallpaper panels are the very spirit of Rococo that has inspired our designs since the turn of the millenium. A breath of fresh air, ambiance for the all-important blue room, made of superbly hand-printed quality papers, the set includes a 51.5" by 35" framed upper panel and a 23" by 35" lower panel, ready to install. $520 per set.

Signet Armoire and Bedside Commode

Click to Enlarge

The lithe armoire-over-dresser offers volumes of storage with grace. The upper cabinet houses a brass bar to accommodate trousers and garment bags and a side shelf for handbags or shoes. Deep and wide drawers with porcelain handles hold everything else.Our signature taupe-overmaple finish and curvaceous legs with faux ivory boots place these bedroom pieces clearly into the Annees Trente collection inspired by Paris design of the 1930's. Overall dresser height 89", width 42" and depth 40". $2950.

The Signet Bedside Commode confirms the styling details of the armoire, scaled to size. The hand carved legs are solid maple, detailed with painted ivory feet so tall we call them "boots". 24.5" high, 26" wide and 16" deep. $850.
