FRENCH IONIC ROOM
One of the more ornate and original rooms in the Hall. Miniature French scenes are painted in oil on the wall panels. Included are busts of George Washington and the Marquis de Lafayette, along with the French national coat of arms.
Other highlights include gold filligree work on the ceiling and wall borders and a peautiseau (flat) finish on the walls. The Ionic columns are of the classic design. The rich reddish color of the carpet complements the wall coverings.
