The Overstuffed Parlor


Uploaded for the Vintage Photos Theme Park theme of: INDOOR SHOTS - With a focus on the style of the room.
This is a glass plate negative, and not a particularly good one technically, but it's a great little peek into the crowded, overstuffed typical decor of the late Victorian/Edwardian home.
There's the small table covered with a fringed cloth and topped with an oil lamp, framed photographs, and (I think) a decorative, cut glass bowl. There's the highly patterned wallpaper, and the full lace curtains with a top frill (or whatever they're called), covering the window shades. The heavily framed photographs are hung up high on the wall (the tops are higher than the top of the window frames.) There are stuffed, decorated pillows on a corner (bench, settle?) and to top it all off is a potted plant (is it really an aspidistra?)
There had to have been a round table and a covered piano on the other side of the room!

Probably similar to the American parlor - the (often) cold room used for special occasions.
