Here is a vintage illustration of a beautiful window decoration. The illustration features a bay window, with full-length, white lace curtains topped with an elegant burgundy patterned valance. The top of the valance is attached to an ornate golden yellow frame moulding. Each of the three panels of glass windows has a green blind that is pulled up to allow plenty of daylight to come into the room. A basket of flowers is hanging from the ceiling in the center of the window. Several large ferns are growing in a wardian case on a metal stand that is placed on a colorful patterned carpet.
I scanned the original image of the window decoration from Cassell’s Household Guide, circa 1869.

You’re welcome, Sharon. I’m happy to know you like it. And thank you for the correct term for the “aquarium”. I changed it in my description. 😊
