parlourmaid
A parlourmaid is a female domestic worker who traditionally served in the parlor or living areas of a home, performing tasks like serving meals and drinks, caring for household decorative items, and sometimes attending the door. These duties differed from other maids who might focus more on cleaning or cooking, for example. The position was commonly found in wealthy or upper-class households, especially during the 19th and early 20th centuries.
