Home decor selections can take us not just around the world, but back in time. From 200 B.C. straight through to the early twentieth century, mix eras and styles to create a look that expresses your unique point of view. Here are a few of interior stylist Emily Grant’s favorites.
- FOO DOGS – Chinese guardian lions dating back to the Han Dynasty are as decorative as they are symbolic. Depending on their size, they can be placed at an entrance or styled on your bookshelves.
- TABLE – Handmade wood table with side drawer. American, early twentieth century. Whether your style is traditional or modern, nothing beats the craftsmanship of furniture made from solid wood. The weathered and worn appearance pairs incredibly well with contemporary pieces.
- RUG – The quality and timelessness of an authentic hand-knotted wool rug from Turkey is the perfect place to start in the design process. This rug is mid-century, with bold blues and pinks. Expect durability, originality, and art for the floors when styling with an authentic Turkish rug.
- FLORAL STILL LIFE – Early twentieth-century original floral still life painting from France in original frame, acquired at Scott’s Antique Market in Atlanta. This piece belongs in Emily Grant’s personal collection. Shop other vintage and antique art at Artifacts, Circa Maison, and Rock House Antiques.
- SCONCES – A pair of silver wall sconces in a Neoclassical style from the Art Deco era, sourced from a private estate.
