On Exhibit
This semi-circular walnut table in the Dining Room of the Fairy Castle represents the Round Table of King Arthur and his Knights. With twelve sculpted legs beneath, the table is meant to accommodate King Arthur, Guinevere, and all his knights. The table service laid out on the table is made of gold and includes wine glasses from Bristol that are over a hundred years old. The theme of the Dining Room throughout is King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table. The ceiling is raftered and is made from burnished walnut. The woodwork of the ceiling matches the inlaid wood of the floor and polished marble walls. A walnut sideboard and a buffet hold further china and drinkware fit for a King.
