Colour postcard showing the Drawing Room at Lotherton Hall. In the centre is the grand piano dating from the 1870s. The case was made by Marsh and Jones of Leeds to an earlier design by Charles Bevan for industrialist Sir Titus Salt. It features marquetry work in various stained woods. The instrument was the work of Erard of London. The pair of chairs upholstered in red velvet are from a large suite made for Windsor Castle to a design by A.W. Pugin c1827. They are rosewood with ormolu mounts. The Lotherton endowment given by Sir Alvary Gascoigne in 1968 enabled the purchase of these chairs in 1972, with the aid of a Government grant. The portrait on the left shows Mary Oliver Gascoigne nee Turner and is dated c1815. She married Richard Oliver Gascoigne, in the portrait on the right, also c1815. Both paintings are of the 19th Century British School. | 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 |
