The hall is decorated in a rococo style, which emphasised cosiness and comfort. The chairs were designed with seating comfort in mind, with the novelty of a bench sofa upholstered with soft cushions and a variety of small tables for different purposes. The curved chest of drawers was a fashionable piece of furniture of the time, produced throughout the empire. Gold-framed mirrors also became common, although they were still taxable luxury items. A novelty of the time was the storage tiled stove, which added a great deal to the comfort of the home.
Coffee table
Coffee, tea and cocoa became widespread after the mid-1700s. They reduced our hitherto excessive consumption of spirits and beer and brought with them more sophisticated socialising. In particular, expensive coffee became so popular that the government tried to discourage its consumption through various taxes, prohibitions and restrictions. Coffee was banned on a few occasions in the second half of the 1700s, but its popularity was no longer impossible to prevent. A coffee pot was hidden in the tiled stove in the hall because of the ban on drinking coffee. Coffee was served with milk or cream and sugar. The plates were deep because coffee was drunk from them.
