E-3: English Reception Room of the Jacobean Period, 1625-55

In this English reception room of the Jacobean Period (1625–55), one of the 68 miniature rooms conceived by Narcissa Niblack Thorne, the major influences are Italian Renaissance architecture and Baroque ornamentation. Here, Mrs. Thorne drew from two lavish rooms at Wilton, the magnificent house designed for Philip Herbert, fourth Earl of Pembroke.
