The Glass Dome
The ship was the official seal of the City of Paris store.
Built in 1909, the Latin inscription translates: "It floats,
but does not sink."
In 1981 the 2,600 pieces which comprised the City of Paris dome
were sent to Massachusetts for restoration. In 1982 the dome was
reinstalled by Neiman Marcus as the focal point of its Rotunda Restaurant,
only 100 feet from its original location.
The dome, and its grandeur, has become a trademark for Neiman Marcus
in San Francisco, and is considered part of the store's collection
of fine art.
