As one of OLTL s major bastions of organic decor, Llanfair s design stands apart from OLTL s usual unifying squares, lattices and stripes. One enters the home through an impressive foyer, authentic in style to the great Philadelphia Georgians. Llanfair s library best illustrates the mansion as metaphor for Victor and Vicki. Leather bound volumes fill its built-in bookcases. 18th century American antiques monopolize its floor.
Classical columns infer structural supports to the ceiling.
The library displays many fine pieces of Chinese ceramics, an aesthetic choice popular among the Georgian leisure class. A room of refinement and education, the library s taste permeates with the flavor of old money. When Victor s illegitimate son, Todd, comes to the house to learn about his real father, he first surveys its stately library. Randomly, Todd fingers the objects in desperation, peeking in the fine wood boxes as if they held secrets. He searches not acquisitively but inquisitively, as if this room could solve the mystery of the long dead Victor.
