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.
