a truly wonderful collection 
of old pewter, objects of 
every sort and use being 
represented here in many 
different varieties. The 
central chandelier is pew- 
ter, as well as the two great 
church candlesticks on each 
side of one of the cabinets. 
It is a gathering of astonish- 
ing extent, and one of the 
greatest possible interest. 
The windows have broad 
sills and are filled with 
leaded glass with circular 
patterns; they are provided 
with green sash-curtains. 
The oak furniture is cov- 
ered with dark-brown 
leather studded with brass 
nails. The oak floor has 
no rugs. The fireplace is 
of Caen stone with bands 
of red brick and _brick- 
lining.
