Welcome back to the tour. Day 10 continues with The Gold Drawing room. This is one of the 3 rooms which has silk upholstered walls. We are very pleased with this room, and can't wait to start to use it for publicity shots. We have a friend who has put us in touch with an advertising agency who are always on the look out for new and unique venues for photoshoots. I'm sure Willowbrook fits the bill.
Below: Vases of Stock and Delphinium flank the marble fireplace. In front of the fireplace sits a vintage fireguard. I plan to have it reupholstered in the same silk as the walls soon.

On one wall is a large Chippendale styled cabinet.
On the other wall a bay window overlooking the front courtyard, with a console and large bust of Apollo.
Two smaller cabinets to match the larger one will arrive soon and will go on the walls on either side of this alcove.
Between the French doors on the western wall hangs an oil painting after Claude Lorraine. Below it is a small mantel clock, a gift from Peter when I was 22. It has a lovely sonorous Westminster chime.
Please tune in again tomorrow when we retreat into that most masculine of rooms, the Billiard Room.
Hello Lord Cowell,
ReplyDeleteWhere to begin? The room is gorgeous! The paper is fantastic and works so well in such a bright room. The mantel is fantastic and I love the fireguard...what amazing detail! The furniture is gorgeous and the painting is the perfect contrast to the wallpaper. You really have done an incredible job!
Big hug
