Carlita’s Favorite Find

The modern Kano Sideboard by John Richard Collection features a book-matched faux crocodile pattern across each pair of doors finished in variegated cream and white. The case is finished in antique beluga with brushed brass on the front molding and metal base.

I love the 3D crocodile heavy textured doors that are in a cream finish and accented with brass trim and brass legs. I think this piece would look great in any space where you want to have a dynamic and impactful look. The unique crocodile doors are absolutely stunning.

The Paola Wing Chair from Verellen is my current favorite find. The classic silhouette of a wingback has been updated with a gracefully flared back and sweeping arms, complemented by splayed metal legs and a wood base. The curved lines and curly wool fabric make this chair incredibly inviting. It is the perfect statement piece for any space!

The Antonia Linear Pendant by Fine Art Handcrafted Lighting is handcrafted in the US with elegant options to make it uniquely yours. It has seven finish choices, mixed metals and elegant parchment options.

Every detail of this fixture defines elegance! I had the privilege of going to the Fine Art factory outside of Miami to see their team work. The process that goes into their manufacturing is intricate and precise from start to finish. The metals are all handcrafted and hand applied. The pendant can used in a home that is traditional, transitional or contemporary. It is a must-see in person, a photo certainly does not give it justice. I look forward to showcasing it when our clients come in!

The Wesley Hall Jamestown Swivel in leather is my Favorite Find for this month.

A wonderful update to our best-selling Jamestown Swivel in fabric, now shown in a beautiful new leather called Pickett Nutmeg, with channel quilting on the outside arm and back. Also shown with nailhead trim along the wood swivel base, this chair has always been my favorite, and the new leather options give it a whole new look and comfort!!

The Edgewood Dining Chair by Lane Venture is my Favorite Find. It is hand-crafted from Grade A plantation-raised, natural teak and hand-woven synthetic wicker components woven to look like natural wicker. The synthetic wicker color is intended to blend well with both the teak in its new coloration and the “silver” it becomes as it is exposed to the sun.

Everyone wants a versatile dining chair, one that is easily cleanable, comfortable, and attractive. The Edgewood is perfect, with a rounded back that hugs nicely and offers a generous seat cushion. Originally designed for exterior use, it’s perfect for indoor dining as well. The soft golden-silvery finish of the weave blends beautifully with the teak in its natural finish or as it silvers with outdoor use.

The Ravi Dining Table by Old Biscayne Designs is my Favorite Find. It features maple wood in a Sheer Night finish with a 60 gloss. While it’s a tricky finish to achieve, the result is truly beautiful! This new shape and style has just arrived in the Mart showroom, and I absolutely love the center leaf!

With its galactic appeal, Chandelier Pearl by Eichholtz makes a radiant focal point in your home interior. Its pearl-like alabaster shade is surrounded by four metal rings with a bronze highlight finish on the outside and a gold finish on the inside. The rings can be rotated individually.

This striking piece captures the essence of a fantastical, uncharted planet from a distant galaxy. Three rings in graduated sizes encircle a shade designed to resemble a pearlescent lunar surface. Each bronze ring is accented with subtle hints of gold, creating an opulent effect. Light emanates from within the shade, highlighting the intricate textures of the chandelier. Suspended from an adjustable stem that connects to a canopy above, this fixture is perfect for any space where you desire abundant light and plenty of attention.

The Focus x5 Chandelier by DCW éditions is composed of five luminous acrylic glass discs. Designer Yuji Okitsu was inspired by the beauty of planets floating in space when he created this fixture, reminiscent of soap bubbles suspended in air.

This product is a favorite of mine because its elegant design will add a level of beauty to any room it is hanging in. Each lens amplifies the natural beauty of the space by reflecting different angles of the room through each of the free-floating lenses.

The Villiers Armoire by Alfonso Marina was inspired by a jet turbine and has 1300 hand-applied pieces that decorate its doors, giving it its emblematic textured finish. Its distinct iron base has been cast in a mold to get its tapered shape and it is forged on-site in our factory foundry. It has a slate tabletop and upon opening the double doors, the inside is painted and can be delivered in a variety of different finishes.

The combination of materials and the ability to customize the interior color makes this piece my favorite find.

The Dunhill King Upholstered Bed by Bernhardt is a bold and modern bed, on display in our Troy showroom in chocolate brown velvet. The wide footboard of this piece doubles as a built in bench for added seating, which is why it is my favorite find.
