A Pair Of Wooden Columns – William Haines

This collection presents a rare opportunity to own a piece of Los Angeles design history. The house, originally designed by Paul Williams in 1933, was given the Haines touch when his clients purchased and moved in in 1963. Haines made appropriate changes to the structure and being at the top of his game, both the architectural changes and the custom furnishings clearly illustrate this. He discreetly added a projection room to the front of the house so that the cleverly concealed projectors made for a movie going experience in the living room. Other Haines touches abound, in a wonderful and thoughtful interior, perfectly capturing a moment in time when life was glamorous.

Haines was a master at utilizing historic pieces to elevate his art and interiors. He originally installed girandoles atop these columns. They have since been removed and the columns make wonderful pedestals. Another pair of girandoles or table lamps could be mounted to the columns once again.
