Three couples in period costume in the east end of the library. The couple on the left sit at a mechanical writing table (table à écrire, or, table mécanique), possibly by Jean-François Oeben, circa 1755 to 1765. Behind them is a fire screen, "L'Amour Vendangeur (Cupid, the Vintager)", made at the Beauvais Manufactory after a cartoon following Francois Boucher in 1738 to 1740 or in 1767. The couple on the right, with the man playing the violin, stand in front of a writing desk (bureau plat), attributed to the Pagoda Master, made circa 1730. The third couple stand in the background next to the fireplace. Hanging on the wall on the left is a Beauvais tapestry, "Le Fontaine d'Amour (The Fountain of Love)." The chairs belong to the set of two settees and ten chairs whose upholstery covers were woven at Gobelins Manufactory, Paris, probably under the supervision of Jacques Neilson (1714-1788), after design by François Boucher (1703-1770) and Jean-Baptiste Oudry (1733-1755). The covers were woven circa 1779, and the frames are nineteenth century. Label accompanying photograph in album reads "HEH 31 East end of Library room in Huntington Art Gallery. Beauvais tapestry at left. Chairs, Louis XVI; tables, screen, Louis XV period; Savonnerie carpet, Louis XIV period."
