Mottled light passing through a floor-to-ceiling expanse of handmade glass illuminates the many intriguing details Narcissa Thorne included in this miniature room. Above the ornately carved paneling at the back is a door, the entrance for troupes of musicians who might have provided entertainment from above during a banquet. The portraits and armor that flank the fireplace convey Thorne’s romantic vision of a noble household.
