In the adjacent breakfast area, a small table that once belonged to Lee Radziwill is flanked by two Versace chairs covered in a silver damask. The small paintings are mockups for 1939 New York World’s Fair murals.
The centerpiece of the master bedroom is an antique metal keyhole bed dressed with Frette linens and Ralph Lauren Home pillows. The custom draperies are made from men’s suiting fabric; the paint color is Benjamin Moore’s Dior Gray.
