The characteristic, curvilinear decoration of the interior metalwork is particularly apparent in the staircase hall. Here a single free-standing columna vertical structural member having a circular cross-section and usually consisting of a base, a long shaft, and a capital. branches out to support the ceiling and landings, while organic tendrils intertwine to form the balustradeA rail supported by a row of small posts or open-work panels.. Similar patterns are incorporated in two dimensions in the mosaic floor, and the effect was reinforced by the original painted decoration, which consisted of curvilinear patterns interweaving up the walls.
