Milton's Choice

I asked chic, knowledgeable Milton Roberts, who holds down the fort at Interiors Market, to share with us some standout pieces with a youthful-but-classic vibe. Initially I had in mind a young Southerner mixing their grandparent's furniture with new finds. Milton's choices definitely fit that bill, but I have to say his eclectic playlist reminds me of the highly coveted mix in Ivanka Trump's apartment. (Yes, I'm referencing that stylish residence again.)


This vintage green opaline chandelier could serve as an interesting foil for more conservative furniture, as Ivanka's turquoise glass chandelier does below.

Milton loves these early 19th century Italian chairs because they epitomize the staying power of good design; they feel modern yet suggest ancient forms.


An original kinetic modernist sculpture by Michael Cutler is also among the diverse offerings at Interiors Market, and is especially favored by Milton. You may remember Ivanka chose to combine contemporary art, antiques and classic clean-lined furniture.


When Milton pointed out this painted chinoiserie chest, I immediately thought of Trump's red piece below, photographed for In Style, U.S. edition January 2007.
