ashlar. With a light touch,
Mlinaric paired English
Empire style chairs with a
circular rug and light fitting
from the 1930s. In the
dining room are roundels
above the bookshelves
modeled by Philadelphian
Anthony Visco depicting
busts of U.S. presidents
as featured on dollar
notes. And, the owner���s
collection of 18th century
portraits hangs on the
walls. The artworks are
hung and inset with
American spaciousness
rather than Soanian
density.
Recessed
antiqued mirrors reflect
and enlarge the space.
The main library is
pure Soane, with dark
green walls, a shallow
cross-vault ceiling and
exedra end. It is fitted
and
bordered
with
quarter-sawn
maple
and ebonized paneling.
