The Dining Room or Parlour The Dining Room or Parlour This is the Dining Room or Parlour. This room is decorated in a rose red colour with print-room patterns. There are built-in book cases on either side of the fireplace, which itself has a Georgian firegrate. The Chippendale cabinet at the back of the room houses the expensive china and spare table linen, cutlery and glassware. The dining table is covered with a hand-decorated table cloth, and the table is currently being cleared ready for the gentlemen to take their brandy. When not in use as the dining room, this would have been a parlour for everyday use. |
