Description: | 1970/80s.
View of the Drawing Room at Lotherton Hall, built as part of the 1903 extensions for Colonel Frederick Richard Thomas Trench Gascoigne on the west side of the house. It is decorated in the Georgian Revival style which was fashionable at the time. The plasterwork and chimney-piece is in the style of Adam and the walls are hung with the original greensilk damask. In the centre of the ceiling is the glass and ormolu chandelier. This dates from the time of the new extension in 1903 when the house was electrified. It came from the firm of Perry & Co. of Bond Street, London. In the background is the grand concert piano which dates from about 1870. The case was made by Marsh & Jones of Leeds in the Gothic style. Marquetry-work decorates the instrument using satinwood, amboyna, purplewood, orangewood and harewood. | License: | http://www.leodis.net/article.aspx?id=12 | Rights holder: | Leeds Central Library | Subjects: | Lotherton Hall Gascoigne | Source: | Leodis - A photographic archive of Leeds | Identifier: | http://www.leodis.net/display.aspx?id=20... | Go to resource |
