The Ministère de la Culture's notice

Le rez-de-chaussée et l'étage conservent un décor de solives sculptées aux plafonds. Les poutres de rive, en chêne, sont posées sur des corbeaux le long des murs pignons mitoyens et supportent les solives transversales. Celles-ci sont ornées de moulures en plis de serviette sur toute la longueur de leur face inférieure. Ces moulures sont séparées par des cartouches circulaires ornés de motifs géométriques circulaires, de végétaux stylisés et de profils humains. Ils divisent les solives en deux, trois ou quatre parties et ornent également leurs extrémités, constitués dans ce cas d'un demi cercle.

The ground floor and the storey retain a decoration of carved joists on the ceilings. The oak tie beams are laid on corbels along the sides of the adjoining gable walls and support the transverse joists. These are ornamented with napkin-fold mouldings along the entire length of their lower face. These mouldings are separated by circular cartouches ornamented with circular geometric motifs, stylised vegetation and human profiles. They divide the joists into two, three or four parts and also ornament their ends, constituted in this case of a semi-circle.
