Abstract

Description

Separating the great hall and Louis XVI Room from the east rooms is a 15' X 65' hall entered from the north. Its ceiling-height oak paneling is simple, but the plaster ceiling is more intricately modeled than any in the house, with Tudor Roses, floral medallions, strapwork, and drop pendants. The oak main stair rises at the south end of this hall. It's arcaded balustrades are Jacobean in style, with balusters square in section, tapering toward their bases. The newel is vase-shaped, topped with a carved wooden flower. Seven pairs of silver alloy sconces depict a chivalric helmet surrounded by elaborate foliation.
