In the Crystal Room the style of tomorrow may be seen in remarkable glass furniture. The furniture is unique not only in its extraordinarily graceful yet simple lines but in its original method of construction. It combines the utmost delicacy with the utmost strength. The design of the furniture is at once classical and modern. Each piece is graceful and distinguished and fits perfectly into a room of any period.
