Description
44" (112 cm.) The three-walled grand salon is papered with original gilt relief hardboard wainscoating, and 18th century patterned silk up to the ceiling, finished with ornate gilt stucco ceiling molding. The room is furnished with exceptional Biedermeier furnishings including two corners cabinets, and a spectacular period chandelier centers the arrangement. There is a fireplace with gilded mantel and fireplace screen, and three carpets. The salon is accessorized with Erhard & Sohne gilt ormolu objects, 15 miniature porcelain figures, Viennese bronze miniature toys, two tabletop lamps in rare designs, a spectacular relief wall decoration in carved bone, glass domed arrangement, birdcage, hooded early cradle with porcelain baby, and very fine wall paintings or images. Residing in the house are four wax doll children in original costumes (one with two tiny dolls), and two bisque ladies with sculpted hair and antique costumes. Excellent condition. Circa 1860.
