content: An interior wall elevation with a fireplace (chimney piece and mantel) to the right and a bookcase set into the wall to the left. The mantel and overmantel are split in half with two variations in the design. The right side of the overmantel mirror or frame features an egg and c-scroll running pattern and a festoon of fleurons, with a sculpted vase with leaves and berries above. The design on the left is plainer but with a diaper pattern and oval roundel above the overmantel. The front of the mantel is decorated with strapwork, c-scrolls and scrolling leaves (rinceaux). There is a scale below the fireplace.
