Summary
[edit]
| Description |
English: The Drawing Room at Tatton Hall. Ladies would withdraw from the gentlemen after dinner into the (with)drawing room where they would take refreshment and begin the evening's entertainment. One of the most impressive and ostentatious rooms in the house, the walls of the Drawing Room are decorated with cherry-coloured silk damask. The furniture, made by Gillows of Lancaster, is heavily carved and gilded and designed to be arranged in the centre of the room for viewing from all directions; at the time a new fashion begun by the Prince Regent at Carlton House. The large sofas also reflect a nineteenth century revival of the Rococo style. The huge mirrors were used to maximise light during the day and reflect candlelight at night. They also had the effect of giving the impression of an even larger room. |
