Alvas Gothic Room in Marble House, conceived when she purchased a famous collection of medieval and Renaissance art from a French estate in one fell swoop...realizing that valuable old things trumped fancy new things...anyone with money can buy new things, but only a connoisseur would buy old things. Alva was no connoisseur, but she knew before anyone else that antiques would trump new things, regardless of the cost. I dont like the Gothic Room aesthetically as much as the other rooms in Marble House, but I love what it meant. Alva was the best at what she did.
