The overdoor panels feature vases of flowers, fleurons, c-scrolls, and acanthus leaf motifs. The narrow panels in between the doors feature shell motifs. There is a plain dado level below the carved paneling, on either side of the alcove. The alcove features textiles, possibly a sofa, and carved birds in the arch above. Below the elevation is a scale and two outlines of the wall paneling, as seen from above, illustrating the shape and depth of the carving. The address is lettered below.
