Description
Photograph depicting the Persian Room at the Plaza Hotel in New York in its first interior design scheme. A square room with a circular wooden floor at center mirroring a two-toned circular ceiling treatment above. Highly reflective ceiling. Dark round tables with concentric contrasting stripes fill the room, each with groups of four chairs. The table in the foreground filled with etched gimlet and water glasses, a bottle of whiskey, and an ash tray. A long bar in the corner with bottles and glasses; walls draped in striped curtains. Above, a large mural depicting figural scenes of Persian musicians and dancers in fanciful landscapes. To the right, a smaller mural showing Persian princes on horseback.
