It's always fun to peek into other people's bedrooms. Not that these rooms were always used as such, but that is how they are arranged at this point in time.
This one is fascinating because of the wallpaper. It is silk painted with people hard at work growing curing and packing tea. It is a very expensive wallpaper from the eighteenth century
The bed is around 1760, the needle worked hagings are from earlier and the chairs are Chinese Chippendale style with pagoda-shaped cresting rails.
I must say, the new bed we have could use a set of these steps. Why is it we are
going in for high beds again now?
The chimneypiece is mid-eighteenth century and carved with bears and bees.
There is more to see, so until next time, Happy Rambles.
