The Margaret Shehee Cole Estate | Fine Art, Herend & Continental Furnishings
Remembered for her generosity and dedication to the Northwest Louisiana community, Margaret Shehee Cole was a supporter of the arts, including the Red River Revel, and an enthusiastic traveler with a particular affection for Paris. Her Lake Place home reflects those interests in its French influences, distinctive furnishings, and collections of art and decorative objects.
Estate Pros presents a collection distinguished by continental character and an appreciation for gracious living. French and Italian furnishings, warm woods, gilt accents, original art, fine Herend porcelain, and exceptional crystal come together in rooms thoughtfully assembled for both everyday enjoyment and entertaining.
