The paneling was hand-waxed and buffed in 1999, preserving its rich patina.</p> <p>Louis XV-style furnishings; which are available for sale, were commissioned from Don Ruseau, Inc. and acquired in 1974. Established in 1937, the firm was known for refined French Louis XV reproductions in French walnut, distinguished by hand-carved detailing and elegant proportions.</p> <p>In December 2018, windows were replaced by Skyline Windows with Series 100 AAMA DH-AW-50 double-hung units featuring thermally broken frames, tilt-in operation, triple weather-stripping, Ultra-Lift balances, and 1-inch Low-E argon-filled insulated glass, finished in white interiors and dark bronze exteriors. Bedroom and living room windows include laminated safety glass for enhanced sound attenuation and security, with Marvin primed pine interiors and aluminum exterior glazing beads preserving the original configuration.
