Leather journals are stacked high on a three-legged stool, along with a sleek wooden Art Deco-era panther.

A 19th-century concave mirror and Japanese art decorates the wall above a burled wood demi-lune table. Arts and Crafts vessels and vases, a Liberty scarf and 1930s Art Deco cocktail shaker and glasses, as well as modern art glass pieces complete the vignette.

Behind this frosted glass and gilt hanging lantern, large broken pieces of a mercury glass mirror - probably circa 1830s - lean against the wall, while a red leather handbag dangles from a tree branch.
