King David
In the 17th century and particularly after the accession of William of Orange in 1609, Dutch and Flemish firebacks became particularly fashionable. Scenes of Bibilical, legendary or classical themes were common and came to influence English designs. Dolphins and shells, symbolic of this sea-faring nation were often incorporated into the borders of firebacks much as they were used in furniture design of the period.
This scene depicts King David sacrificing an ox on an altar (following the advice of King Araunah who is standing behind him), in order to stay the plaque which is afflicing Israel. An angel with scourge and skull is seen hovering above (II Samuel, champter 24).

The West Parlor is one of the most interesting rooms in the Mansion. The window cornices are relics of the days when George Washington lived here. Note also the panelled walls, the decorated ceiling and door frames. Most impressive is the fine mantel with the coat of arms of the Washinton family in the pediment above it. The Washington crest and the initials "GW" are cast in the iron fireback of the fireplace.
