De Gournay’s Willow wallpaper frames a custom blue glass fireplace in the center of Claud Cecil Gurney’s living room. Twin George III sofas, one bought at Christie’s and the other a copy, flank a 1960s French cocktail table. The Alpaca rug is by The Rug Company.
Consoles from the Far East display porcelain and other treasures in the dining room, which features a Rives du Bosphore panel on the wall and Gustavian chairs, all by de Gournay. Glass tiles allow light to filter through the house from upper floors.
Hannah and Claud Cecil Gurney.
Cecil Gurney’s second-floor office includes an antique French Art Deco desk, antique carved monk effigies from Burma, and a collection of Chinese porcelain vases. The wallpaper is de Gournay’s Coutts Chinoiserie.
A guest room includes a Napoleon III bed.
A Louis XVI–style desk and Swedish Gustavian chair furnish another guest room.
An antique kilim leads to the master bath.
In the master bath, a Castello Luxury Baths Oceanus tub has a backdrop of de Gournay’s Bamboo wallpaper and Old Master reproductions.
A vintage Turkish suzani—a present to Cecil Gurney from his mother—covers a de Gournay Louis XVI reproduction bed in the master suite. The table lamps are from a Paris flea market; de Gournay’s L’Eden covers the walls.
