The end of the Napoleonic Wars brought a number of changes in customs, including interior design. In many countries, family life in the comfort of home began to take priority. This was also reflected in the furniture produced at the time. Above all, most ornamentation was eliminated, as were expensive woods. Furniture acquired simpler shapes, and the quality and comfort of upholstery, especially for sofas and armchairs, improved. Veneers from more valuable species became widely used instead of solid wood, which contributed to a significant reduction in the cost of carpentry. Like most furniture from that period, the set displayed in the living room is covered in light veneer and decorated with modest stylized fan motifs. The table legs are lyre-shaped. The seats of the chairs and armchairs, like the sofa, are upholstered and covered in a fabric with stripes and floral motifs, echoing period patterns, as the original fabric has not survived.
