The Dining Room

The Alexander House Dining Room perfectly captures the elegance and grandeur of the Beaux-Arts period. From the Murano glass chandelier and smoked rolled glass pendant lights to the coffered ceilings and hand-printed frieze, every detail reflects the artistry of the era. The frieze, adorned with oak leaf patterns, mirrors the majestic ancient oaks that grace the gardens outside.​At the heart of the room is a stunning Jacobean dining suite, featuring intricately carved legs and drawers, with subtle natural motifs etched into the sideboard and tall cupboard. A rosewood breakfast cart showcases an exquisite collection of silver serving pieces spanning the early to late 1800s, while a red oak built-in houses even more silver treasures from the 1870s, alongside Herend China. A stately silver chest holds sterling flatware dating back to 1900. The dining room walls are adorned with turn-of-the-century still-life paintings of fruit, sourced from both Europe and the United States. And, of course, no dining room of this stature would be complete without the quintessential Diner Gong and the discreetly placed servant’s call bell under the table—just as it should be in Alexander House.
