Spindler Marquetry

Throughout the Oak Room, you will find a collection of marquetry pieces done by Jean-Charles Spindler, a third-generation marquetry artisan from the Alsace region of France. Marquetry is the ancient art of inlaying various types of wood to create intricate designs. More than a thousand veneering oils and several thousand varieties of veneer have been chosen from throughout the world to complete the pieces.

Grand Moscatelli Chandeliers

These 12 diameter Moscatelli chandeliers are the largest bronze and crystal chandeliers ever made. During their centuries in the chandelier business, the Moscatelli family was fortunate to acquire a large amount of rare antique pendalux crystals, which were hidden in the Czechoslovakian countryside by Mr. Moscatellis grandfather during World War II, then driven by him in a wagon to their Milan, Italy factory after the war.
