Here and there were high-backed signorial chairs, thrones, and stools.

Against the walls were sideboards on whose carved panels were bas-reliefs representing the Annunciation and the Adoration of the Magi.

On top of the sideboards, beneath lace canopies, stood the painted and gilded statues of Saint Anne, Saint Marguerite, and Saint Catherine, so often reproduced by the wood-carvers of the Middle Ages.

There were linen-chests, bound in iron, studded with great nails, and covered with sowskin leather.

Then there were coffers fastened by great metal clasps and overlaid with leather or fabric on which fair faced angels, cut from illuminated missal-backgrounds, had been mounted.
