Elegant Edge
Designer Martha Reeves reinvented the big gilt mirror left by the previous homeowners as a wall surface for displaying art--an abstract, Symbols 81-1, by Ida Kohlmeyer. The painting and its unusual presentation bring modern verve to the antique French chest just below and to the chest-flanking circa-1800 French walnut chairs (one shown), which still sport their original needlepoint.
