The octagonal summer dining room in Mona Williams’s villa on Capri, Il Fortino - one of several once owned by the Roman emperor Tiberius - was decorated around 1936 by her husband’s personal secretary, Eddie von Bismarck - whom would become her fourth husband. Repeating the Syrie Maugham themes found in the Williamses’ other homes von Bismark’s dazzling dining room showcased sepia-tone murals featuring acrobats by José Maria Sert from the Williamses’ Long Island residence alongside antique silvered mirrors. * Photo via @michaelbargo A full view of the dining and the villa’s history is featured in @pgayetapp ‘s How They Decorated * #monawilliams #monavonbismarck #ilfortino #villacapri #capri #tiberiusvilla #syriemaugham #eddievonbismarck #josemariasert #baroquemurals #sepia #silveredmirror #eclecticelegance #eclecticglamour #1930sdesign https://www.instagram.com/p/Bsf6MBAlhHp/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=ubty2s1gkrle
