was adapted from a 20th-century server. Architectural fragments are displayed in front of a pair of bathtubs salvaged from the Russian embassy; the shutters were designed by Carter, and the secretary is 18th century. In a guest room, a wing chair from Vilnis & Co. Antiques
is upholstered in a Manuel Canovas fabric; the wall color is by Benjamin Moore, and the rug is from Timothy Paul Carpets + Textiles.
