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.
The decorative programme in Edgar Brandt's doors and windows is amazing. Almost ahead of its time!
ReplyDeleteAnd who knew Brasil had winter gardens! I think that must have been a delight for customers.
