Description: | This was the original Dining Room of the Regency house, although once the new extension was completed in 1907 it was used as a Billiard Room. It has been furnished in accordance with the 1829 inventory of the house. The dining table dates from about 1800. On the table can be seen the Bloor Derby dessert service in Chantilly cornflower design which was made between 1811 and 1848. The sideboard which can be seen behind the dining table still retains the original brass candelabra and rails for curtains. These protected the wall from splashes when the butler carved the meat or decanted the wine. This particular sideboard has a small hidden cupboard on the side in which a chamberpot was conveniently kept for use by the gentlemen after the ladies had withdrawn. | Publisher: | http://northlincsmuseumimagearchive.org.uk/ | Rights holder: | North Lincolnshire Council Image Archive | Subjects: | 1970's Normanby Buildings_and_Structures Places Normanby_Hall Halls_and_Houses | Source: | North Lincolnshire Museums | Identifier: | http://northlincsmuseumimagearchive.org.... | Go to resource |
