In 1730, a furnishing for a cabinet described as “mi-party of brocade of silver background on which are gold branches outlined in musk-colour, and crimson damask trimmed with gold,” consisted of wall-hangings, a niche, two _portières_, two _lits de repos_, an arm-chair, twelve folding-stools and six small and low folding-stools. The two _portières_ were in two parts each; each half containing three half-lengths of brocade and two lengths of damask (3 ells long), trimmed all around with a deep gold braid and lined with crimson taffeta. “The niche, in the form of an _armoire_, serving as a shelter for a _lit de repos_,” was hung outside with five lengths of brocade and three of damask (8 feet, 7 inches high), trimmed at the top, bottom and sides with a golden braid. Inside were five lengths of brocade and four of damask. Two curtains hung before the niche, each containing three half-lengths of the brocade and two lengths of damask (8 feet, 4 inches high). These were trimmed with gold braid and fringe, and lined with crimson taffeta. There were also two valances for the niche, one outside and one inside. The outside one was of the brocade and damask mi-party, the inside one of crimson damask. They were bordered with gold braid and fringe. Above the niche were four carved vases of flowers to serve as “_pommes_.” The _lit de repos_ that was placed in the niche was 6 feet long and 2½ feet wide. It was furnished with two mattresses, two bolsters and two square pillows. The valances and coverings were of the brocade and damask, trimmed with gold braid and fringe. The cushions were ornamented with gold tassels. The other _lit de repos_, 7 feet long and 2½ feet wide, was similarly draped. The _fauteuil_ and folding-stools were covered with a square of crimson damask, bordered with a band of the silver and gold brocade. The frames were painted red, picked out with gold. A furnishing of 1730 was of lemon-coloured leather, framed in red leather in large compartments, bordered with a narrow braid and cord of silver. The furniture included a sofa, two forms, twelve _tabourets_ and a folding-screen of six leaves. The sofa was 7 feet, 8 inches long, 25 inches deep and 3 feet, 9 inches high from top to floor. The frame was carved and lacquered, and the leather was fastened to it by means of silver-headed nails. The screen was covered in the same fashion.
