re-reading the question, there is also the second part which mentions the bourgeois room as opposed to a light and airy room looking onto the garden. You could imagine one of the rooms where Proust would meet Odette ...Maybe you could use elegant, refined, plush etc.
I live in what is called a semi-bourgeois house, in other words the large house has been cut in half. There are no Mansard roofs or dormer windows although you can find maisons bourgeois with these. It really describes a large house which was built for the wealthy during the industrial revolution.

for the second part, elegant 19th century room would probably be fitting.
Also, I know it was Swann who met Odette! Poetic licence! |

| Note from asker to answererYes, I think that just about does it - thanks! I was also quite tempted by "Second Empire" but thought that might be a little too much for a blanket description (it appeared about 50 times in this VERY LONG text). I agree with the plush, elegant etc. suggestion too for the other example.
