Dinning Room

The woodwork in the dinning room is typical of 1850s-style decor, grained to look like oak.  The silverplated tae service dates to 1919.  It was Reed & Barton's first registered pattern, "Wild Strawberry," originally used in 1858. 

The table is a Sheraton banquet table, c. 1930.  The sterling silver epergne, used as centerpiece to hold flowers, was made in London in 1790 by Thomas Pitts, silversmith.

The Haviland china is from the DeMenil family, and the French tulip-pattern crystal bears the Chouteau family monogram.
