"The woodwork of the drawing room is of French walnut and the mantel facing of Botticino marble. While there is but little woodwork in this room, there is found on the door casings one of the most interesting bits of carved detail in the house, consisting of intertwining vines, perched on which are tiny birds and animals carved in high relief and executed with the greatest delicacy and spirit. The room contains rare pieces of furniture both antique and modern, to say nothing of pictures, ceramics and jades." | Source: I. T.
