As indicated by the caption, this image shows two unmatched gold beakers on a bureau platin the Mackay mansion library as it appeared in 1902.
The caption accompanying this photograph reads as follows:
A wedding gift often given by grand friends, not rich or intimate enough to give jewels, was gold; objects such as gold vases, like the two unmatched beakers on this bureau plat. One can just glimpse as well, a leg of the tiger skin hearth rug.
