The main guest suite at Vizcaya is in the opposite corner of
Mr. Deerings offering views of both Viscayne Bay and the
Formal Gardens. Occupying the physical corner is the sitting room named Galleon after the shipping vessels which inspired the house.
The wood walls are painted to imitate marble and display a collection of 18th century Italian landscape paintings. As throughout the rest of the house, the diverse decorations include 18th century Italian and English furniture with a French
Savonnerie carpet.
This extravagant suite seems like an amazing place to stay for Deering's guest of honor -wouldn't you say?

ReplyDeleteI love the carpet. I've always loved that style of rug but never knew it had a name (Savonnerie). Thanks for that. David
