The Formal Dining Room
At the left of the Rotunda, a carved limestone portico frames one entry into the home's Formal Dining Room. The limestone, as in the Peacock Room and other areas of the home, were carved by Haddonstone of England. Just inside the entrance, twin seawater aquariums add color and life to an elegant setting for both formal and family dining. There is an original oil canvas mural applied to the surface of the cove ceiling which plays perfect counterpoint match to antique crystal chandeliers from Bulgaria.
