High-gloss wallpaper by Elizabeth Dow provides a colorful contrast to the foyer’s floor tiles, which are part of Smith’s collection for Ann Sacks; the chandelier and the striped upholstery fabric are by Jasper, the drawing at left is by Lucian Freud, and the pagoda étagère is by Bardeaux Mobilier.
The living room features a skirted sofa and armchairs, all by O. Henry House, upholstered in fabrics by Cowtan & Tout and Jasper, respectively; the Regency mirror and the mahogany bookcase were bought at auction, the settee is a Swedish antique, and the cocktail table and the curtain fabric are both by Jasper.
A pair of hand-painted gouache panels are displayed above a velvet-covered sectional sofa in a corner of the living room; the antique Bibikabad carpet was acquired at auction.
A Regency twin-pedestal dining table is grouped with a George III sideboard and ladder-back chairs, all of mahogany; the chairs are upholstered in a Jasper leather.

The kitchen’s cooktop and hood are by Wolf.
The library’s mirror and ottoman are by English Georgian, and the sofa and armchair are by O. Henry House.
A library window affords a view of Central Park; the Emmy was awarded to Stephanopoulos for his role in ABC’s coverage of the 2009 inauguration.
Hand-painted chinoiserie wallpaper by Gracie forms a backdrop to the master suite’s Italian neoclassical bed, which is dressed in Nancy Koltes linens.
