Dining Room


Type: Gallery Image | Not Vetted



While this is an example of more of a middle class design, I think it's a similar style to the table described in Satis House. Having the places set with fancy silverware and plates, as well as the plates themselves being decorative, is something that a person would see in an upper class house. The chairs in this photo aren't as fancy as the ones in Satis House would be, but having things like a tablecloth and fabric/cushioning on dining chairs aren't things that a person in a lower class family would have.
