Description: Post Card Description: Step into the grandeur of the past with this vintage postcard from 1947, presenting the Governor's Reception Room of the Utah State Capitol in Salt Lake City. This elegant room, depicted in rich, vibrant hues, was reserved for special occasions and reflects the exquisite taste of the era. The tapestries, curtains, and the specially made rug on the floor represent a color scheme carefully chosen by the architect, while the furniture and chandeliers boast the use of Utah gold and silver, adding a touch of local splendor. The mural painting on the ceiling, crafted by the renowned artist Louis Sohettle, and a rug weighing 1,350 pounds from Scotland are among the luxurious features detailed on this postcard. With draperies from Belgium and curtains from Florence, Italy, this collectible also highlights a tapestry of French production and furniture inlaid with Utah gold. Published by Carpenter Paper Co., this postcard not only depicts a room with a reported furnishing cost of over $65,000 at the time but also encapsulates the historic Utah Centennial year.
