Duncan Fhyfe mahogany sofa
table, and a large Sheraton ma

mirror, with painted glass scenes,
from the family and once the
property of Benjamin Moore, a
former president of Columbia
University; "
Among the objects d'art are
two oil paintings of the early 10th

There are also a set of 60 pieces
of Lowestoft porcelain and a din

wine goblets, finger bowls and
plates.
In the rear of the room facing
the main doorway to the North
Gallery is a mahogany secretary
centered with a crystal ink well
set in silver. In the shelves above
are 17 china statuettes placed
arovmd a collection of ageless
writings.
Of special note among the sta
tuettes is one of St George and
the Dragon done in matchless
color. Another statuette depicts
a sheperdess tending her flock.
She sits beneath a tree the leaves
of which are intricately shaped in
a true artistic pattern.
In a corne and to the right of
the secretary's desk are two sil-i
ver hurricane lamps with purple
crystal globes, and nearby stands
one of several candle lamps with
metal shades. Both the shades
and candles may be adjusted as
the candle wax melts away, but
small electric bulbs have been
substituted for the candles.
To the left of the" entrance is
the highboy facing an impressive
Empire style setee placed in
front of two large windows. The
setee is backless so tnat one .may j
sit on one side for an outside
view through the windows and
on the other when his attention j
is directed toward the drawing I

Included among the most inter- , t
esting pieces is a mahogany if
flower table with a metal water

flowers are held in place by criss

not in use a cover is inserted to
form a solid top.
- The south gallery houses Mrs.
Knapp's own collection from hen
gallery, arranged almost as it was t
