Description:The Breakfast Room, or Study at West Hill featured some of the most ‘handsome’ furniture in the mansion house. A steel stove and fender are both described as ‘elegant’, as is the six foot six ‘Rosewood & gold frame sofa’ which featured ‘two round bolsters stuffed and covered in fine green cloth’.
The room had ‘India Cotton Window Curtains’ which were coloured ‘salmon pink’ and ‘bordered with green chints cotton’, and much of the furniture appears to have been green, pink or buff coloured.
In addition to the large sofa, the room contained twelve ‘Rosewood & Gold frame cane seat’ chairs and ‘two square foot ottomans’. Another handsome feature in the room was the ‘Mahogany Occasional Table’ which had a ‘stamped leather cover’.
A mahogany bookcase and library table, a Grecian lamp and ‘a superb Ebony Parisian Cabinet enclosed by folding doors’ with ‘blue silk curtains’ were also housed in the Breakfast Room. Chairs, stools, a sofa table and a number of decorative screens also featured in the room.
