Art Deco Family Kitchen on Upper East Side

Dark rich woods of the slatted wainscoting are carried through to the eating alcove, where the entire room is lined with tongue and groove. A built in seat cover with Greek key trimmed pillows add to the maritime flavor. The table, miming the Greek key motif, reflects a astrolabe. Prints on the wall are of sextants, telescopes, and other nautical instruments. The two portholes, one a real opening in the wall and the other a mirror reflecting the real one creates a real optical illusion.
