Decorating with Fabric has been selected to provide the window coverings for The Park Avenue Armory in New York City. We are working under the guidance of the architectural firm Platt Byard Dovell White.
The Armory is renovating two Company rooms back to their original interior condition. We have provided metal mesh drapery on the windows along with SnapPleat Drapery and Solar Shades. The photo below shows the metal mesh drapery treatments in Company D.
The history of interior design at The Park Avenue Armory is very interesting. We are working on two rooms, Company D and E. Below is a summary of the original work. To read more you can ” target=”_self”>click here>
Company D by Pottier & Stymus:
Co. D features intricate carving on the mahogany lockers. In 1897, burlap with plaster ornament was installed over the original terra-cotta and blue stencils on the walls. Recent exposures beneath the layers have discovered the original decoration largely intact.
Company E by Pottier & Stymus:
This room was radically altered in the 1890s by the complete replacement of the ceiling with a Tudor-style strapwork design and new wallpaper. However, the oak woodwork and the mantelpiece are largely unchanged.
