The limestone dentils are features from the main house and tie
the design solidly to its home.
The interior reveals an altogether different character. Cast
iron and steel parts with their forged curls and intricate
rosettes parade themselves as in the history-book images of
the great palaces of glass. Syon Park, the Temperate House at
Kew and Alton Towers were this room's recent ancestors.
Many of Tanglewood's rooms feature custom stained glass
panels which provide a favorite design opportunity - and this
room is no exception. Of interest is not only the wonderful
patterns made by the colors and shapes of the glass itself, but
the ever-changing panorama of colored light thrown into the
interior of the conservatory which adds a mystical quality to the room.
