The Dining Room is undoubtedly one of the grandest rooms of the Nickerson House. Quarter-sawn white oak was used for the Renaissance Revival interior of the room. The focus of the south wall is an architectural fireplace mantel that extends from floor to ceiling, mirrored on the north wall by an equally impressive built-in sideboard. At the center of the room is the original Nickerson dining table. The oak table features an apron carved with pendant lappets, and stands on legs that rise from boldly articulated claw feet. The legs are further decorated with spiral carved ovoid globes, motifs that are also featured in the sideboard. Atop the table is a silver punch bowl by Tiffany & Co. festooned with vine leaves and grapes. The punch bowl was first exhibited at the 1893 Columbian Exposition in Chicago.
