( v i r t u a l t o u r ) Copper Fixtures
Copper candelabra that once graced the newel posts at the foot of the main staircase in the Entrance Hall are still part of the collections
Arab Hunter This 34" tall spelter statue depicting a man in traditional desert costume astride a horse was made in Paris, France by the sculptor Emile Guillemin in about 1880. It strongly evokes a feeling of eastern exoticism so popular with Americans in the late 19th-century. |
The beveled-glass front doors
with fan and side lights lead to the impressive entrance hall where visitors to the house were received. The glittering chandelier and sconces,
which replaced early copper fixtures in the late 1920s, light this large room decorated with monumental porcelain vases and bronze urns.
