Garbo had a passion for art and antiques and began collecting works by Renoir in the 1940s. Louis XV fauteuils attributed to Jean-Baptiste Tilliard flank the fireplace, where late-18th-century famille rose roosters are set alongside 19th-century Chinese porcelain boxes. The taboret is Louis XVI.\nA hall and elevator vestibule.\n\nA carpet Garbo designed lines a hall, where a painting by her brother, Sven Gustafson, hangs above a Louis XV banquette. It was director Mauritz Stiller who brought then-19-year-old Greta Gustafson to the United States in 1925. A three-time Oscar nominee, Garbo was given a special 1954 Academy Award for her \"unforgettable screen performances.\"\nA living room wall adorned with artwork.\n\nFor Garbo, color was essential in art and d\u00E9cor, and she surrounded herself with vibrant hues. \"I love color,\" she once said. \"With me it's inborn. I just know. I didn't have to learn it.\" Pierre Bonnard's Les Coquelicots hangs prominently in the living room. Elsewhere are portraits and a still life by Alexej von Jawlensky and oils by Georges Rouault and Juliette Juvin.\nA Louis XVI trumeau in the living room.\n\nOf her legendary desire for privacy, she remarked in a 1928 interview\u2014one of the few she ever granted\u2014\"I wanted to be alone, even as a child. I used to go to a corner and think... Thinking means so much, even to small children.\" A panel painted after Fran\u00E7ois Boucher adorns the upper part of a Louis XVI trumeau in the living room.\nA Renoir painting hangs in the living room.\n\nRenoir's Enfant Assis en Robe Bleu (Portrait of Edmond Renoir, Jr.), which dates from 1889, hangs above a R\u00E9gence parquetry commode in the living room. The circa 1835 Staffordshire equestrian figures stand alongside one of a pair of Han pottery vases mounted as lamps. The corner chair is Louis XV.\nThe \"closet room.\"\n\nThe \"closet room,\" which Garbo created from a small library, is highlighted by one of the carpets she designed for her 1962 series, Birds in Flight. Over the closet is part of her collection of hats; others are stacked on a carved and painted Russian provincial tea table from circa 1880. Garbo chose the upholstery and drapery fabric, which features African tribal motifs."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
