McHenry Mansion, Modesto CA. This was an item from the dining room the docent referred to as a ... garnish? Fetish? Burnish? Bling-bling? The point was that it was utterly and completely ornamental. It was also a lovely garnet hue and has so many crevices to collect dust, I could hear the sound echoing down through the years of the veins throbbing in the foreheads of the hired help.
