Cleves

- There is a simple frame chair with
rush seat and a barrel chair. The cooking is done on an open
hearth and there is a minimum of kitchen fittings: a wall shelf
holds plate and a small mural cupboard with pierced door holds
other items, possibly spices and precious ingredients. The floor
is tiled but there is also a woven rush mat.
