Mary Louise Tea Room, Los Angeles, California, interior, postcard front. This is one of several private side-rooms in the Mary Louise Tea Room complex. It is what we used to call "Fahn-Say" (with a fake French accent) when i was a kid. The decor is rococo or French Baroque, with a hyper-feminine colour palette of white, pale pink, lavender, and warm grey. Fabric is used extensively to enhance the effect of elegance. Not only is there elaborate drapery, but the backs of the simple cane-bottomed bentwood cafe chairs are outfitted with grey slip-covers in a subtle heart pattern. The large circular table, laid out for a party, covered in white damask. A central be-ribboned floral mound is set inside of what seems to be netting crafted to represent four tennis nets, stretched between four silver candle stands, each holding a tall pink taper candle. In front of each tennis net is an exquisitely dressed porcelain half-doll, similar to those on display and for sale in the Mary Louise Foyer Gift Shop. There are 12 place-settings, each marked by a single pink rose in a glass bud-vase and a large lavender and white floral corsage for the guests to pin to their dresses, A confection in a sherbet glass, on a gold-rimmed glass under-plate, sits at each place, along with silverware. It may be an ice or a moulded gelatin salad topped with cherries or strawberries. A rolling tea cart at right holds silver tea necessities. A vase of long-stemmed red roses and another finely-dressed half-doll, as well as two candle-stands with white candles, rest on silver lame cloth on the rococo fireplace mantel. The drapery is multi-layered in white lace, pink gauze, and grey silk, with tassels. The gilded electric chandelier (called an electrolier in those days) bears faux white candles. Two framed prints hang from pink tasseled cords, one with an unusually knobbed antique chair beneath it, and the other above a small side table bearing two more silver candlesticks with white candles, a bit of lavender drapery, and an open bowl of ornamental fruits. The Chinese area rug is red, white, pink, and grey, to match the room. This photo is signed, but the copy i have is trimmed in such a way that i cannot say for certain what the signature is. It looks like "J. (or I.) F. Clayton, 2/28/16 (or 26)."
