Tall silver chair backs create a striking rhythm through this pale tea salon. Each one holds a long plum velvet panel beneath a grid of small rose-coloured glass squares. Their slim vertical shapes echo the glazing bars of the windows, where narrow oval glass details repeat across the upper panes. Beyond the curved window wall, a wet terrace and quiet grey sea extend toward distant cliffs under a cloudy sky.

White cloths cover the small square tables, with simple teapots, cups and a tiered pastry stand adding delicate detail. Warm shaded lamps and a hanging glass lantern soften the cool daylight without overwhelming it. The muted purple carpet brings the chair upholstery into the rest of the room, while pale panelling and subtle silver borders keep the walls light. The complete setting feels formal yet calm, with strong furniture silhouettes doing most of the decorative work.
