ORNAMENTS ABOVE YOU
A Marland Mansion Ceilings Tour, Cont.
The ceilings in the north and south salons are identical. These gallery-level ceilings are a stencil pattern done in Italian Renaissance style. We're told this ceiling was painted in the same fashion as that of the Sistine Chapel, with the artists laying on their backs, on scaffolding.
 
 
The light fixtures are solid bronze, weighing 250 pounds each and suspended by cables in the same manner as the ceiling in the dining room.
