House Beautiful asked me to select a memorable cinematic moment that best captured the allure of the black and white film heyday. The film that best captures the glamour of the day for me is Top Hat. This 1935 movie with Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers oozes Old Hollywood regency style and dapperness. Hickory Chair's Suzanne Kasler-designed deco-inspired Laurent black lacquer side chair with white linen upholstery would be right at home on a film set.

The scale of these pieces is perfect- so well sized for the space.
