content: Design for an interior wall elevation featuring a chimney piece with a mirror above, paneling and a set of double doors to the left. The paneling is decorated with chinoiserie (in the Chinese style) and grotesque motifs with rosettes, fleurons, rinceaux, beading, scrolling leaves, masks, dragons, webbing, putti, terminal figures, and herms. The cornice level, over mirror and overdoor panels are highly decorative with ornament and figures. The two panels flanking the chimney piece feature central brackets with lidded vases displayed. There is a scale along the left side of the design. The plate is titled, signed, and numbered. The decoration is similar to another plate in this album - 1921-6-353-17.
