content: Wall elevation featuring fireplace with overmantel and cove above, all in the Rococo style. C- and S-curves abound on every section of the ornament. In the center of the overmantel one finds a representation of a pastoral scene framed by feathery plant ornament with raffle leaves that curve over central field and onto the chimney panel. Some of the plant ornament extends past the entablature and into the area of the cove.
