I have watched the 1915 silent film "work" (starring charlie chaplin as the tramp) since i was a little kid, and i had to build the filming set to match the original keystone studios set as a school project. It is one of the first movies to appreciate the slapstick potential of a painting and decorating scenario.
Most of the furniture is from Daniel P. models, and the interiors and taken from the film. the staircase is not meant to be used, so it's only for decoration and does not fit with the real-life house.
Film Synopsis:
Charlie and his boss have difficulties just getting to the house they are going to wallpaper. The householder is angry because he can't get breakfast and his wife is screaming at the maid as they arrive. The kitchen gas stove explodes, and Charlie offers to fix it. The wife's secret lover arrives and is passed off as the workers' supervisor, but the husband doesn't buy this and fires shots. The stove explodes violently, destroying the house.
