Each detail is a focus of refinement, rich materials abound and every appointment is a testament to a tradition of collected treasures passed down from generations past. Important is the balance of contrast between rich color or detail and the quality of light or subtle shades of color to create a timeless tapestry to delight the senses without seeming old or stale. The art forms of old-world craftsmen; carved wood, sculpted stone, ornate plaster or vibrant stained glass, display a sense of historical place that celebrates the essence of luxurious elegance.
