Old World Gallery

Ladlow’s has shopped the markets and brought the best of Old World design into our gallery of rooms and furniture that display the ambience of old European estates and manors – relaxed and comfortable, yet elegant and substantial. Fine woods, textured fabrics, iron, and stone combine to bring a mixture of continental influences into one congruent theme, with design influences from Tuscany to Spain. It’s the perfect look for many of Arizona’s fine homes, fitting in with the size and scale of the rooms and the architectural elements such as elegant arches, exposed beams, faux finishes, and stone accents. Furniture on a grand scale with distressed and aged finishes and weathered colors blends with the home design. Rich and textured fabrics trimmed with fringes, tassels, beads, and leather add femininity and warmth.

These pictured rooms are just a small sample of our showroom gallery and wide range of choices for Old World design. We invite you to come into our expansive showroom to view the complete collection.

The “Villa Argenta” bedroom captures the spirit of genteel times when leisure was considered a treasure, transporting you from the deep passes and vineyards of Spain through the robust beauty of Northern Italy. Designed to capture tradition and built with the craftsmanship of the old world, the panel bed has a shape and scale that works for today’s lifestyles.

John Richards has created the ultimate in Old World dining elegance with this continental room built around an oak table that expands from eight to twelve feet, perfect for entertaining a large family gathering or special group of friends. The multiple c-scrolled base, the marquetry inlaid and hand decorated top, and the hand-planked antique finish give this piece the air of a cherished family heirloom.
