I would consider it an honor to be in the same room as that Victrola. It is stunning. Jerry Blais

I do note, though, that the strong pattern in the wallpaper might not be the very best background for showing off the eleborate Moorish decoration on the phonograph. The patterns kind of "fight" each other. Perhaps that is what may have brought out that earlier comment.
