From the Estate of the late Nicholas and Jeanne Arena, Chapel Hill, NC
Nicholas and Jeanne Arena met while studying at the Museum College of Art in Philadelphia. After successful careers in Philadelphia and Manhattan, they founded their own design firm, Nicholas Arena Associates, in Greenwich, CT. Avid collectors, their aesthetic was primarily mid-century modern, with a knack for mixing in the antique.
