Mantel from Drawing Room of the Craig House, Baltimore, Maryland

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows a formal dining room. The walls are pale pink with white trim. A large, white fireplace mantle is on the left wall, with a portrait of a man above it. Two candelabras are on either side of the mantle. A large, oval wooden dining table is in the center of the room, set with plates, glasses, and silverware. There are six wooden chairs around the table, with dark blue cushions and gold studs. A large window with a white curtain and a valance is on the right wall. A mirror hangs on the wall to the right of the fireplace. The floor has light-colored hardwood and a large area rug with a geometric pattern. In the background, there is an archway leading to another room. The overall atmosphere suggests a historic or antique setting.
