The Bream Bedroom
Setting the tone to this decidedly French and luxuriously inviting room is a Louise XV-style chaise long with cabriole legs in old white paint and a Louise XV-style Bergere with a curved arched padded back, molded frame and cabriole legs. To the left of the bed is a French tulip wood bijouterie cabinet with a marquetry decorated lift top opening to a mirrored interior, c. 1880, and to the right is a French fruitwood one drawer stand with cabriole legs, c. 1870. A gilt and white paint convex mirror hangs over the fireplace. A salmon lobed vase decorated with white figures is mounted as a tabletop lamp. Hanging over the desk is an 18th Century carved figural plaque of a sea creature with a later clipped corner frame faux painted in a complementary manner. There is a mid 19th Century bronze bas relief roundel of a woman in profile in a gilt frame and a pair of 19th Century French prints in rectangular frames which give the room depth and a sense of collected artifacts.
