The Renaissance Revival style of the 1870's is handsomely represented in the furniture, overmantel mirror, and architectural elements in this sitting room from the forty-room mansion built by Jedediah Wilcox at Meriden, Connecticut. Mother-of-pearl cameos decorate the crests of the chairs and the mirror. (The Metropolitan Museum of Art ).
