I flipped over this 12-foot-wide psychedelic tapestry in part because of its crossover Aubusson vibe.

I thought one might look interesting juxtaposed with the piece.\u201d Hence the image you see here. It\u2019s the only vignette in the book that features a piece of furniture that Shapiro doesn\u2019t own.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think this eccentric Italian armchair from the 1950s would look very interesting with the relief.
