Rotherwas Room
The Rotherwas Room is an English Jacobean-style room currently in the Mead Art Museum, in Amherst College.
It was originally installed in the estate of the Bodenham family called Rotherwas Court, in Herefordshire, England, as part of the country house where the family lived. It was commissioned by Sir Roger Bodenham sometime after 1600, and completed in 1611. Some of the room's most prominent aspects include a carved oak mantelpiece and walnut wall panelling. The room originally functioned as a parlor, where families would dine privately or entertain guests informally.〔Cooper, Nicholas (2006). ''The Jacobean country house : from the archives of 'Country Life'.'' London: Aurum. p. 13. ISBN 1-84513-136-3.〕
In 1944, Herbert L. Pratt bequeathed the room to the college. It had been previously installed in his Neo-Jacobean House "The Braes," in Glen Cove, Long Island. Although the wall panelling and the mantelpiece of the original room remain, no specific records of the furniture or the ceiling design of this room in the original Rotherwas Court house have been found.
