The chamber interior reflects the taste of the late Victorians. The

hand-blocked frieze, at the point where the chamber walls meet the ceiling, features the Anthemion leaf motif and is colored in red-based tones with accents of olive, cream, metallic gold and copper, representing the influence of ancient Greece.

The mid-point border is a Greek key design widely used in Victorian buildings and found in historical photographs of this room. This motif is also repeated on the pilasters of the vestibule and hallway.
