Items of interest in the small room on the left, on the way to the music room, include a Cape 18th century day-bed and a box of amboina and ebony. It is said that the box was a shroud box, in which Mrs MM Horak (Marie Koopmans-De Wet's maternal grandmother) kept her burial clothes. This is the same Mrs Horak to whom the sedan chair in the lower hall belonged. There is also a display cabinet with small personal accessories, such as shoe buckles, perfume bottles and snuffboxes, from the late 18th and early 19th century.

The engravings on the wall depict views of Amsterdam and the Cape of Good Hope. One of these views of the Cape shows the mountains in reverse, and was possibly intended for use with a light placed behind it.
