32 www.incollect.com The sitting room in Sara Story’s 1840s Gramercy Park townhouse retains its charming period architectural features: doors, windows and carved plaster moldings; even the crystal chandelier and gilt overmantle and pier mirrors are original. Vintage midcentury furnishings, layered Moroccan rugs, pieces collected from worldwide travels, and a few whimsical touches are drawn together to create a setting overflowing with joie de vivre. Left to right: A 1950s Brazilian Modern “Costela” chair by Carlo Hauner and Martin Eisler, folky midcentury wicker cricket table by Mario Torres, Fritz Neth “Egg” chair, circa 1950s, and a vintage Swedish sectional sofa.
