Above: Lobby, First National Bank Building, Tulsa. There were several phases where the building was added on to and some features remodeled. During one remodel, the early ceilings in the lobby were redone with this "grottesca" design. One fun point of interest is to note how the winged mermaid figures sport bob haircuts that were popular during the jazz age!

Above & Below:
The ceilings in the Philcade lobby were originally done in an ancient, Italian Renaissance "grottesca" style. Waite Phillips upon seeing the finished ceiling did not like this "old" style and had the ceilings redone in the more modern "Art Deco" style. Yes, that is all real gold leaf, overlaid with colored glazes to create the shimmering, Art Deco designs.
