DINING AREA
The furnishings are a compelling mix of antique and contemporary and the foraged branches are displayed in a 19th century Spanish pot. 1950s Tulip table by Eero Saarinen; original Hans J Wegner rush chairs; pot, all Anton & K
SITTING ROOM
A travertine 1970s coffee table adds a contemporary feel to the space and is flanked by two antique chairs reupholstered in vintage Belgian linen. 1950s artwork from dealer Caroline de Kerangal. Table, chairs, ceramics and floor lamp, all Anton & K
We both have a lifelong appreciation of furniture and decorative finds that come with the added gift of age and history,’ says Karen Cull, who, along with her husband Anthony, founded antiques business Anton & K twelve years ago. ‘Surfaces that bear the marks of everyday use, edges softened through years of touch, and patina that matures only with the passing of time are all wonderful. And we believe antiques are imperfectly perfect – adding a timeless beauty to spaces both old and new, and always complementing contemporary design.’
