We own a beautiful screen of Birds of Paradise of Gesso painted with Enamel on White Gold leaf he created for his daughter, purchased from his granddaughters' son. I cherish it.<br /><br />Imagine floating face up and looking at that undersea world. Heaven. If I recall, Vizcaya has a Screen as well painted for the Room upstairs with the beautiful Iron Gilt gates at the doorway from the Pisani family.<br /><br />Long ago, the Cafe/Gift shop were run by a family from Northern Italy, the Balsano region...and their food was good and the jewelry rather was period gold set with precious stones. The setting rather like a worn trattatoria.<br /><br />Please forgive me if I intrude with little bits of forgotten tidbits of history...but you are a kindred Soul!!!The Swanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01159724663060240920noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28651976363618994.post-81584591756899315062011-03-08T16:00:07.853-05:002011-03-08T16:00:07.853-05:00Devoted -lots more to come -the whole interiors!

The gift shop / former smoking room, is actually pretty well done if not completely historically accurate. I have a feeling the basement had already been gutted and they didn't have much to work with, other than an antique fireplace.ArchitectDesign™https://www.blogger.com/profile/01481754380363676771noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28651976363618994.post-75086516620254290112011-03-08T15:57:02.150-05:002011-03-08T15:57:02.150-05:00I am glad you came back to the pool, one of my fav...I am glad you came back to the pool, one of my favorites ever. You had posted so many photos on other features that I was afraid you had somehow missed the grotto shelter on your tour. During my history of visitation, those spaces had already been converted to a banal gift shop and cafeteria years ago, just in case a reader was thinking an act of vandalism was about to take place.The Devoted Classicisthttp://tdclassicist.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28651976363618994.post-74234930416939857142011-03-08T13:10:04.641-05:002011-03-08T13:10:04.641-05:00Divine - well thank you!
