Title
A name given to the resource
Dorian Gray's Library (Grosvenor Apartment, London)
Subject
The topic of the resource
This is where I will include information and an assortment of things found in Dorian's library. The space aligns with the aesthete affinity for oriental objects-- this collection contains a bit of Japanese and Chinese artifacts, along with some southern European pieces. This was also the original hiding place for Dorian's portrait.

Title
A name given to the resource
Couch
Description
An account of the resource
The piece is described as "luxuriously-cushioned," facing the screen that hides the portrait while it is still kept in the library (Wilde 92). Though not tied to any specific schools of design, the couch seems to represent an image of leisure for the aesthete. Dorian uses it as a spot to fling himself down after lighting a cigarette (Wilde 92) and as a vantage point to think about the "mask of his shame" and the altered portrait with "a feeling of almost scientific interest"(Wilde 93).
