Casa Monteiro de Carvalho, Santa Teresa

Sala de Jantar da Casa Monteiro de Carvalho

This is the sala de jantar (dining room) in the casa Monteiro de Carvalho, a house of extraordinary Deco treasures at Santa Teresa near Rio de Janeiro.

Take a look at the light over the dining table. Probably Lalique, a lot of the lights in the house were.

At the end of the room behind a wrought iron screen by Edgar Brandt, the master French iron worker of the Deco period, is the jardim de inverno (winter garden).

With lots of great Deco furniture and fantastic leadlight windows.

  1. The decorative programme in Edgar Brandt's doors and windows is amazing. Almost ahead of its time!

    1. And who knew Brasil had winter gardens! I think that must have been a delight for customers.
