Where Is It?

Could the lamp hanging for the ceiling be an electric one? Doesn't look like gas or candlelight to me.
As for the plants being unhealthy is certainly right in some way, soil containing lots of bacteria and possibly mold and mold spores, which is why plant aren't allowed in hospitals. My thinking however was that people back then found plants as animals rather something essentially functional, nothing to "pet" or tend to or care for for mere pleasure the same way we use to today.
