Daphne

A rendering of the first Mrs. de Winter's study from the novel Rebecca by Daphne du Maurier;

"This was a woman's room, graceful, fragile, the room of someone who had chosen every particle of furniture with great care, so that each chair, each vase, each small infinitesimal thing should be in harmony with one another and with her own personality.  It was as though she who had arranged this room had said: 'This I will have, and this and this,' taking piece by piece from the treasures in Manderley each object that pleased her best, ignoring the second-rate, the mediocre, laying her hand with sure and certain instinct only upon the best."
