'Frances loved to mix rich things with poor things. With Elsie de Wolfe, everything was rich - all fine French furniture. But Frances could take simple things, mix them, and have a contemporary look.
She was certainly one of the guiding forces in the whole development of what is the American style today and, God knows, what it will be tomorrow. Her genius was in doing it when she did.'
- Michael Taylor, 1984
