French Quarter Residence
New Orleans, Louisiana
The interiors of this 1828 French Empire mansion were designed to complement its elaborate neoclassical millwork while showcasing the owner’s collection of contemporary art and photography. Eclectic furnishings—from Louis XVI to mid-20th-century modern—are set against a neutral palette, creating a refined backdrop that highlights the artwork while preserving the home’s historic character.

“Ledbetter, whose office is located on the building’s first floor, has slowly been introducing contemporary design into the living quarters... The result, says Ledbetter, is ‘a comfortable mix of old and new,’ which means modern photography, sculptural vases, and arched windows stripped of heavy draperies juxtaposed with solid, weightier items, such as original doors hand-carved by Italian artisans or a gold-leafed walnut flea-market chair.”
