Well this is good fun.
The image is cluttered, depth of field used is questionable in terms of accurately capturing everything in the scene, but is effective in drawing attention to the fireplace at the expense of the chair and right-most pumpkin.
It put me in mind of this sort of composition (not quite the one I had in my mind's eye but a similar style - old master's still life)

If I wanted to create an image that conjured a sense of that, I would need to crop/rotate and apply some heavy PP in terms of split toning, saturation, clarity and the like. And I'd want a bit more evening light coming in from frame top left:
Not intended to be an accurate capture of the scene, but a mood and a reproduction of a style of painting, perhaps? Yes that chair leg is offputting, but so are the cut off objects at the edge of frame in the van Utrecht painting.
