This photo shows a design project in New York by Ike Kligerman Barkley blending vintage and modern furniture. Here, the new: a blue and grey wool and silk carpet, and creamy boucle sofas. The old: "Pairs of smaller, bolder pieces - 1920s Swedish black lacquer side chairs, and 1930s mahogany slipper chairs," says designer Elizabeth Sesser, who worked on the project. The finished look is elegant and cohesive. (William Waldron/Ike Kligerman Barkley)
