Going for Gold
A touch of gold adds that elevated glamour to any interiors. Noticed I said a touch, and not the over the top gilded furniture that sometimes rear its ugly heads at those beautiful homes and hotels that we’re all too familiar with. Christie’s recently had their Interiors Sale where several decorative items came with that golden touch. The one I liked best was a late 20th century four panel floor screen. At a recent visit to Joan Collin’s apartment decorated by John Lyle for Core Real Estates, I became quite smitten by the designer’s signature pieces, especially his Gold Turtle Side Table. By the way, stay tuned for my interview with Mr. Lyle.

Gotta Love John Lyle, and in 24k gold, this table proves that “money talks”!
Great post!

Wow Vyna, I can’t imagine how expensive this beautiful piece of furniture must be. It’s a beauty.
Yes, we definitely should go to Paris together. We can make it happen if we really plan it with time.

Agreed. This table is a beauty, isn’t it?
I’m not sure how much it cost, but if interested, please direct your calls to John Lyle Design at: 646.344.1964.
Cheers!
