Above: In the dining room, a stone figure from the Han Dynasty purchased in Hong Kong
sits on a custom rosewood buffet topped with black granite. "The wood was so gorgeous I
didn't want to put handles on it," says the homeowner. Above, a painting by Jay Lefkowitz
pops. Resin Masters chairs by Kartell weave around an estate-sale table. Left: The original
front door, once dark Spanish wood, was cut to fit eight inset pieces of glass and painted.
A gallery area of custom bookcases creates movement throughout the house; functional
storage drawers run across the center of each bookcase. Artifacts picked up during the
homeowners' travels fill the spaces. On the top shelf, third from left, gleaming and sculp-
tural 100-plus-year-old spiral forms were used in Southern China to carry packs on the
chest. Third row, second from left, is a gold African hilt (sword handle). Fourth row, third
from left, is a prehistoric stone ax, underground in Cambodia for 1,000 years.
