A bed supported on massive pillars of mahogany, hung with curtains of deep red damask, stood out like a tabernacle in the centre; the two large windows, with their blinds always drawn down, were half shrouded in festoons and falls of similar drapery; the carpet was red; the table at the foot of the bed was covered with a crimson cloth; the walls were a soft fawn colour with a blush of pink in it; the wardrobe, the toilet-table, the chairs were of darkly polished old mahogany.
Le due grandi finestre, con le persiane chiuse, erano ornate di drappeggiamenti della stessa stoffa. Il tappeto era rosso, la tavola, collocata a piè del letto, era coperta con un panno rosso; i muri erano coperti di carta giallastra a rose; l'armadio, la toilette, le seggiole, erano di vecchio mogano ben lustro.
