This collection, purchased directly from the heirs of the estate presents a rare opportunity to own a piece of Los Angeles design history. The house, originally designed by Paul Williams in 1933 was given the Haines touch when his clients a young family of five purchased and moved in in 1963. Haines made appropriate changes to the structure and being at the top of his game, both the architectural changes and the custom furnishings clearly illustrate this. He discreetly added a projection room to the front of the house so that the cleverly concealed projectors made for a movie going experience in the living room. Other Haines touches abound in this, a wonderful and thoughtful interior perfectly capturing a moment in time when life was glamorous.
This versatile cocktail table features a stylized cerused Oak faux bamboo base with a unique ocher marble top. Designed with 2 separate bases and tops this is the original cocktail table designed for the circular sectional from the living room. Since the room could transform into a screening room this table needed to be moved on occasion thus the design. The marble is quite beautiful and the base offers classic Haines design with his use of stylized faux bamboo. The finish is original and was only waxed to restore the luster of the wood. If you like the top could be replaced with glass allowing for the design of the base to be seen more directly. Provenance and COA available to buyer.
