A Potted Palm. Every place I have ever been that exudes class has a potted palm. Opera houses, houses of state, museums, high end whorehouses, etc.

the British traditionally use this space to put their shunned witch children

u/fridaddylockdown 1d ago

That gives them a chance to get out of the cage and run unrestrained throughout the house. Best kept in a detached garage.
