Drawing room furniture to try to live up to and a new bed in case Princess Charlotte and Prince Leopold come to stay. From Ackermann’s Repository, all of these having been the height of fashion in 1816.
Bookcases as fashionable as the Sir Walter Scott novels to lie down on the new sofa to read. Hard as a board it is but what everyone has in Mayfair. From Ackermann’s Repository, all of these having been the rage in 1811.
