Tableaux Scéniques
Inspiration drawn from a Portuguese six-leaf ‘japanned and painted eighteenth century leather screen’ housed in the Great Hall at Eastnor Castle, Herefordshire. Decorated in imitation coromandel lacquer with a series of cartouches depicting vases of flowers and temples with figures.
The Crace Ceiling Panel
At Eastnor Castle, Herefordshire, A.W.N. Pugin and J.G. Crace were active in 1849-50 in refreshing the Gothic revival interiors for the Earl Somers. Although Pugin’s sketches for this commission clearly indicate his input into the design process, including furniture, he visited the house only once after it had been completed by Crace and his team, and was critical of what he saw. The ’Crace’ Ceiling Panel is taken from the Dining Room coffered ceiling at Eastnor, and is typical of the hand painted and gilded stylised naturalism that is common to their decorative work of that period.
