The bed in this room is by Charles Lee, a free man of color. The room features a portrait by Thomas Sully, a ladies writing desk by Alexander Roux, and an armoire by Joseph Meeks.
The furnishings in this room are primarily American Empire, dating to the 1830s, including a bed owned by Duncan Kenner of Ashland Belle-Helene Plantation and a cousin of the Colombs.
The furniture in this room is Italian dating from the 1880s. The decorative work on the bed is primarily inlaid ivory, and the armoire and secretaire a abattant are inlayed as well.When driving down River Road, we noticed Bocage from the Road. WOW, we drive up past the live oaks and finally see it for ourselves. Someone was there to greet us and help with baggage. First we were treated to wine and hor Douvres then we took the complimentary tour. So much rich history and beautiful antiques. We actually got to sleep in an Antique Mallord bed with was unbelievably comfortable. Breakfast in the Dining room was very quiet and romantic. The staff took care of all our needs and pampering. We will visit again!
