The various pieces of trompe l'oeil Chinese blue and white porcelain, painted throughout the Inn, are reminiscent of the pieces that were brought back from the Far East by the ships' captains who sailed from this area, 300 years ago.
All of the raised paneling on the three floors and stairways was trompe l'oeil painted. Vistiors often feel the walls to see if the paneling is real or not.
The castle is a copy of one found on a planter in the store room of this house, with the initials of the original owner. The clipper ship is a nod to the China trade, which brought wealth to this area North of Boston in the 1700's.
The trompe l'oeil tea set was designed with the initials of the original owner of this historic home.
Painted ivy "climbing through" the real window
Detail of some of third floor painting. The crane on the pot is in reference to the Crane family who built this house.
