AUCTION FOR 21ST CENTURY HOME

-

Turn your modern home into an original, cultured space by introducin­g estate furniture pieces, and antique and vintage décor to various corners of your abode. An elaborate fine kamagong and narra comoda provides a strong focal point to a dining area when paired with the stark lines of crystal centerpiec­es from Daum, Charles Schneider and František Halama.

The rich dark tones of a tall balayong cabinet work best in a brightly lit lounge, anchoring lighter hued décor and doubles as storage for seasonal linens and tableware the whole year round.

For the master’s suite, a large chest of drawers intricatel­y inlaid with bone and kamagong in the shape of sprawling vines take an eclectic turn when paired with baroquesty­le carved mirrors and Art Nouveau objets d’art.

Juxtapose the graphic lines of a Lloyd Schwann stackable ‘Help’ shelf in oak with the intricacie­s of a narra kilo altar table in a home’s study—both functional for displaying travel keepsakes collected through the years.

The graceful lines of an Art Deco kamagong bed refresh an empty guest room, and bold prints by National Artists Jóse Joya and Ang Kiukok enliven the space for your transient guests. As a final touch, pair a fine three-seater kamagong solihiya bench with the stunning drapery of a large artwork by National Artist BenCab in the entrance to your foyer as the ultimate welcome statement.
