George Vanderbilt’s bedroom features a red canopy bed, gilded wallpaper, framed art and masculine accents, such as lock sets.
There are 41 prints covering his gilded bedroom walls, along with rare portraits from the 17th and 18th centuries. Other works of art in the room include 19th century bronzes, which he also enjoyed collecting, as well as plaster casts of the Elgin marbles also seen throughout the house.
The furniture in his bedroom is Portuguese in style with several antique pieces, such as the bed, complemented by pieces designed by Richard Morris Hunt (the dressing table) to match the look of the rest of the room. He appreciated elegant details, as seen with the choice of fine materials used in his bedroom – gilded walls and an ornately carved French walnut over-mantel.
The overall feel of George’s bedroom is very masculine, from the dark wood furniture to the crimson drapes.
