Edward Carter Forty Years in Forty Minutes (this is page 37 of 38)
![]() This is the living room. The double doors from the entrance hall are on the right. On the left is the black-mirrored, walk-in bar. The rug came from ABC in Manhattan. It is hand-made needpoint from China. ![]() The pair of wooden chairs on either side of the double cabinet with the butterfly bronzes (original) were made for me in Chiang Mai, as were the two Chinese-style lamp tables. The lamps were antique Thai lacquerware containers that the shop in Chiang Mai electrified for me. I bought the table between the chairs in Morocco many years ago and have been carting it around with me ever since. I found the 19th-century Chinese plaque in Lewes, Delaware, and the two Japanese, reed, sliding doors in San Francisco. The bed side-rail above the entrance doors is early 19th-century Thai, found in Bangkok. The gray fallacies ;-) are Hindu, found in Chiang Mai. The hard-to-find, narrow hangings above them are modern Thai, bought in Bangkok.
Please email me your travel tales, "postcards," and questions. I'll publish the most interesting, appropriate or outrageous in Correspondence - All the best, Ted (short for Edward)
