1. Samuel Hart Room, 1680
2. The Wentworth Room 1695
3. The Hewlett Room
The intense blue of the woodwork and the orange red inside the shell cupboard were both popular color choices at the time, and—after microscopic analysis of color chip samples—the Museum has replicated the exact hues of the original paint. The paints were specially made for the room, with natural pigments suspended in linseed oil.
The Dutch tiles around the fireplace opening, which depict biblical scenes, are not original to this room, but rather representative of tiles that were imported in the mid-eighteenth century. The room also includes examples of early eighteenth-century decoration on painted furniture, quillwork, needlework, and ceramics.
At the time the Hewlett Room was built, painters were being influenced by materials and decorative techniques from the Far East and India as the result of trade routes that had newly opened in the previous century. Painters imitated lacquer ware with a method called "japanning," in which a dazzling array of animals, flowers, and Far Eastern figures and structures were depicted in gold leaf and paint on polished black backgrounds.
