Antique architectural columns are great solutions for empty corners and this chic Parisian light fixture will enlarge the vocabulary of your possessions and articulate the continuity and style we want our homes to portray.
As the founder and CEO of Modern History, Michael Beaver translates these finds into meticulous reproductions. Veranda Magazine highlighted Modern History as one of the 12 most venerable furniture design companies and we completely agree as we return to the showroom off-season to learn what he has gleaned from his latest travels.
Growing up in a furniture manufacturing family, Michael has quality, proportion and infallible taste embedded within his DNA. He is a generous and thoughtful man to interview with an encyclopedic knowledge of art, antiques, vintage....you name it. The best designers have traveled, sifted and constantly explore the world of decorative arts honing their skills. The marriage made in heaven is that Michael Beaver knows how to execute his vision with uncompromising accuracy.
I cannot say how much I enjoy the breadth of this line as we wend our way from the showroom to the antique space where the foundations are revealed.
Before
And.....After
This fine hand painted Italian chest gets its make-over in Vietnam, which is where many of the high-end case goods vendors turn for fine painting, finishing, hand carving, gilding and construction. Traditional lost wax techniques are employed to recreate the authentic hardware completing a piece that shines with integrity. There are subtle nuances to finish and Michael's experience helps him strike just the right chord. Additionally, I find the prices at Modern History to be excellent and even surprising. This is a great resource to share with your design loving friends before market, so give them a tweet....a Like...a pin... to spread the word. Modern History is located on 430 N. Wrenn Street in High Point and for your day one destination it is good to combine this stop with some of the other vendors in that neighborhood who have one of a kind items for cash and carry like Halo styles.

I have always loved Veranda, I stopped buying Architectural Digest, because every other page was advertising. Television is off my list because of commercials. This line of furniture is beautiful.
ReplyDeleteMany tourists travel to Orange County, California year round to enjoy the beachside areas in southern California and the beautiful, sunny weather. There are two airports that service the OC and they are LAX, the Los Angeles airport which is a bit of a longer drive or the smaller and closer John Wayne airport that is right in Orange County.
