What they wore: the Count & the designer

I'm not that interested in fashion... When someone says that lime-green is the new black for this season, you just want to tell them to get a life. Bruce Oldfield quote

Ghislandi, Portrait of Count Giovanni Battista Vailetti

Wow! And what about the covering for the chair with the ruffle around the seat?

My book HOW THEY DECORATED, for Rizzoli, was published in April of 2017. I have been an interior designer for over 30 years & have an abiding passion for the original, & history. Little Augury was born on New Year's Eve 2008. It began as a way of continuing a conversation with a beloved mentor & the promise to keep just a bit of his wit & wisdom alive by sharing it whenever possible. Little Augury focuses on interior design, art, literature, fashion & social history with an eye, always looking back to the past, in hope of understanding what is authentic & what will endure & what connects us to our environment. Always listening for the footstep on the old stair-the sound of lives that walked that way.
