Pair of Elegant Yellow Silk Bench or Stools- Manner of Dorothy Draper, 1960s

About the Item

Incredible pair of silk tufted Dorothy Draper style benches or ottomans. These stools are painted in a lively lemon yellow with a complimentary yellow silk pillow top. Elegance with a pop of fun! Modern Baroque style reminiscent of such settings as the glorious Greenbriar Hotel designed by Carlton Varney. Dorothy Draper was an American interior decorator who through her prolific career completely transformed the industry. With a stylistic approach that was intensely anti-minimalist, Draper embraced exuberant colors, large prints, and a fusion of classical elements, all of which defined the Hollywood Regency style—an approach now synonymous with her name. From department stores to hotel lobbies, her work was featured heavily in Architectural Digest and other important publications. She also founded the Dorothy Draper Company and was a shrewd businesswoman. Dorothy Draper was a true artist and an influential tastemaker whose impact we cannot overstate. In this article, we trace her origins and celebrate her legacy.
