The wardrobe having a domed dentil moulded cornice profusely inlaid with urn, swag, ribbon marquetry and pen-work detail. The upper central section again with stunning quality inlaid panelled doors opening to reveal mahogany shelves and slides. The open central section having unusual bevelled mirrored "secret" doors which operate on a spring mechanism, opening to reveal a velvet lined hidden jewellery cabinet and having three mahogany lined storage drawers again with Classical inlaid detail. The shaped bevelled mirrored end doors opening to reveal shelved and hanging interiors, the right hand section also having a large bonnet drawer. The accompanying dressing table having an oval adjustable mirrored back supported on beautifully inlaid mahogany supports with turned Adam style finials. The serpentine shaped solid mahogany top above three further mahogany lined drawers, raised on square tapering supports with spade feet and brass and porcelain castors united by a serpentine shaped solid mahogany under tier. The bedside cabinet having a solid mahogany top and shaped galleried back with a marquetry inlaid panelled door, opening to reveal a shelved interior and raised on square tapering supports with spade feet. The double bed once more profusely inlaid with stunning marquetry and penwork inlaid urns, swags and ribbons. The headboard with a domed and dentil moulded cornice, the footboard having an acanthus carved crest and also beautifully inlaid with exotic woods in the Classical style.
