When it came to curating and furnishings for this new build, James created an aura of refined age with antiques and cherished collections, such as the brown-and-white transferware that lends its warm hues to the color palette used throughout. Caramel-hued leather club chairs mix beautifully with animal prints and sophisticated Schumacher fabrics, while a pained mural in the dining room recalls coveted wallcoverings of yore. The spacious sanctuary is replete with guest rooms—all en suite—allowing family members comfortable quarters when not socializing with kin, and the master suite, with its regal Jacobean-style bed, is the very definition of luxury.
