Carrier and Company Interiors
Arcadian Delights for an NYC Dining Room


The classic forms and elegant proportions of 1930s Manhattan architecture inspired a versatile dining room by Jesse Carrier and Mara Miller, of New York City’s Carrier and Company Interiors. The married designers created a pair of clever Neoclassical Moderne four-top dining tables that can be connected with leaves to make a banquet table seating 16. They also transformed a window bay into a breakfast nook sporting a 19th-century Gustavian tilt-top table from 1stDibs seller Jacqueline Adams Antiques. As a counterpoint to the skyline views, the team brought a Paris-meets-Palm-Beach alfresco feeling to the room with the clients’ antique French chairs, a trellis-pattern rug and a floral Gracie wallpaper. Late-20th-century Murano-glass chandeliers hang from a surprising chartreuse-lacquered ceiling that, Miller says, “captures the sparkle of sunlight during the day and candlelight at night.” The dining tables and a 1stDibs-sourced 1950s Paolo Buffa sideboard also glisten, with arrays of Art Nouveau and Deco sterling silver (from 1stDibs gallery Karl Kemp) that reflect the firm’s dedication to finding noteworthy pieces. “For us, there is no world outside of design,” Carrier says. “No matter where we travel, antiques shopping will be part of our itinerary.”
