You can see some of the real pieces in my friend and customer's home "Kim" in the "Home and Decor of FUTURES Customers and Friends" Gallery on the "Shop" page of my web site. She had the surfaces restored. The fabric is original. The chair are REALLY comfortable with that split in the back for your spine. Wonderful idea. I'll write back in a minute and give you the direct link. Ronn Ives/FUTURES Antiques Hi,

BTW, I don't think that's a Monstera Deliciosa on the mantel in the photo; believe it's a fiddleleaf fig (ficus). And for my money, the must-have plant for an MCM home is a big pot of Sanseveria, aka "mother-in-law's tongue". The vertical-striped, architectural look of them is so perfect.
