Grandeur obeys an axis
Every room begins with a centerline, then lets gilt moulding declare the procession.
Industrial fortune, made ceremonial
A Mansion of Method
Dark silk carries the light
Bottle-green damask quiets the walls so bronze and marble can read as inheritance.
Ornament proves the ledger
Acanthus, cartouches, and fluting make private fortune feel publicly ordained.
Restraint is kept in reserve
Ivory appears only as a measured accent, never as the room's principal voice.
