The design for the dining room was inspired by the selected Meroni Francesca furnishings. The wall treatment, chair rail, and wainscoting all echo decorative flourishes and Trompe L’oeil found in the table and cabinetry. The chandelier is Schonbek; the rug is an antique Tabriz with broad color variation complimenting the white and honey onyx floor. photo: Gordon Beall
