Historic Jewel Boxes - the Monmouth Room
The new desk in the Monmouth Room is from Hickory Chair. Cabriole legs are on desk, chair, and wing chair (not seen). A statue of a member of the 3rd New Jersey (the New Jersey Blues) is on the desk. Artwork was reframed with archival mats and museum glass. The chair was purchased used, and reupholstered in the handsome striped velvet and linen fabric. The compact room feels cozy, but is light and airy, and functions well. A small tray was added to each desk for a glass for water, and some guest amenities such as soap and lotion.
