Subject
Dining rooms
Description
Black and white lithographic image depicting the Astor Dining Room at the Waldorf with a design based on the dining room of the original Astor residence. Lithograph from the 1903 promotional publication assembled by George C. Boldt, then manager and proprietor of the Waldorf-Astoria.
Lithographs produced from original photographs by B.J. Falk.
Referenced by the publication: "THE ASTOR DINING ROOM is located over the same spot as that occupied by the dining room in the old Astor mansion. The ceiling and woodwork, while the old building was being demolished, were preserved and afterwards placed in this room; likewise the old mantel, furniture, draperies and paintings. The chandelier and side lights are of solid hammered brass; they were made in Paris and arranged for oil lamps, and only recently were adapted for electric lights. The reception room adjoining also contains some original furnishings from the Astor mansion."
