The mirror (shaped like a ball) on the wall is an interesting artifact from another era. A servant would stand in front of it with his/her back to the guests, because facing them would elevate him/her from a subservient position, and was considered intrusive and rude by guests. By facing the spherical mirror, he/she had a clear view of all the guests in a large room in order to see when someone lifted their hand, and required service.
