content: An interior wall elevation featuring a central mirror in between two sets of doors, ornamented with rococo paneling. The central mirror is framed by two narrow panels and over-mirror paneling decorated with fleruons, strapwork, shell, plumes, and acanthus leaf motifs. The overdoor panels feature blank cartouches made up of similar motifs – shells, c-scrolls, plumes, acanthus leaves and fleurons, which also feature on the narrow panels in between the mirror and the doors. Below the mirror is a dado level made of three panels. Below the elevation is a scale and an outline of the wall paneling, as seen from above, illustrating the shape and depth of the carving.
