Iris Apfel, ageless bon vivant and co-founder of textile house Old World Weavers, deservedly receives the royal treatment in the June issue of Architectural Digest. The nearly nonagenarian, who once wore a priest cassock just for the hell of it, takes ADreaders into her luxe and layered New York City apartment.
The walls in Apfel's living room are 18th-century bleached-oak boiserie.
The bombé chest is 18th-century Venetian.
In the library, a Louis XVI daybed covered in an Old World Weavers fabric.
Stacks of art and fashion books flank the entry's Italian console.
