Steal the Style: Downton Abbey
Lately it seems like everyone, myself included, can’t stop talking about Downton Abbey. Every week I wait expectantly for Sunday. I don’t want to miss a minute of the drama, the romance, the betrayals – or the furniture.I like to think of Downton Abbey as a sort of extended Apartment Therapy house tour, where we get to know the inhabitants very well. Sometimes I’ll rewind, not to catch a line I missed, but to get a better look at the interiors.

Theodore Alexander
A mahogany writing table, the rectangular top with engraved brass moulding and brass line inlay above a frieze fitted with two drawers, anthemion mounts above the carved naturalistic lion legs with paw feet accentuated at the knees, all on a concave mahogany and brass inlaid plinth base.
