Like the Oak Room, the dining room also feels inspired by the Georgian dining rooms of an English country house or a great town house. While it is filled with examples of rich mahogany Georgian and Regency furniture, (by Gillows among other makers furniture) the most spectacular piece is the George II giltwood overmantel mirror. Miss Duke's extensive travels throughout Europe and Asia made a lasting imprint on her taste. Her collections of decorative arts at Duke Farms constantly reflect her fascination with this interplay between East and West. Supplied to Charles, the Duke of Beaufort (d. 1756) for the celebrated Chinese Bedroom at Badminton House, Gloucestershire, this mirror by John and William Linnell is one of the finest examples of English chinoiserie decoration. An entirely fantastic and European rococo interpretation of "Chinese" design and motifs, it perfectly encapsulates the 18th century European fascination with the Far East. The set of five Continental silk and wool embroidered pelmets, circa 1730, possibly German, represents another exceptional group of chinoiserie objects. With glittering metallic thread, they depict different scenes of "Chinamen" hunting, fishing, playing games and other intimate—and imagined—scenes of daily life.
