Renovations Reveal History | Saks 2018

When some of the 50th Street windows were leased to Chanel and being renovated, the original Brazilwood, Mahogany and Walnut floors from 1924 were revealed!

Detail of the front window borders. Such stunning workmanship uncovered after all these years! Unfortunately these were beyond saving. However we kept a piece of the wall detail for our team archive.
