#Repost @periodportraits 💙💖 PALLADIAN PERFECTION 💙💖 X When it comes to full on fabulous fantasy rooms, I think we can agree that the DOUBLE CUBE ROOM at WILTON HOUSE in Wiltshire takes some beating 🤜💥 X This impressive example of severe PALLADIAN style by INIGO JONES is one of the finest 17th century staterooms in England. Privately owned since King Henry VIII seized it from its resident nuns and handed it over to his brother-in-law. ❤️❤️❤️ X Created circa 1653 the DOUBLE CUBE ROOM is the great room of the house, measuring 60 ft long (18 m), 30 ft wide (9 m) and 30 ft high (9 m)💥💥💥 X The pine walls are white and decorated with great swags of foliage and fruit in gold leaf. The gilt and red velvet furniture complements the dizzying collection of paintings by VAN DYCK of the family of Charles I and the family of his contemporary Earl of Pembroke. As if that wasn’t enough between the windows are mirrors by CHIPPENDALE and console tables by WILLIAM KENT. 🖼🖼🖼 X But it’s the coffered ceiling, depicting the story of Perseus, painted by THOMAS DE CRITZ that really takes my breath away.. now that’s what I call a FANTASY INTERIOR 👀‼️ X Happy Wednesday 🥳 🎉 🎈 X #art #architecture #interiors #statelyhome #interiorspace #countryhouse #mansion #archdaily research #artdealer #instaart #instaartist #catalogue #painting #paintings #oilpainting #oil #followforfollow #follow4follow #oiloncanvas #artoftheday #inspiration #paint #instaart #creative #artwork #art #amazing #arts #artsy https://www.instagram.com/p/Ce0IvkYNX12/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
