Description:
Interior view showing the drawing room at Loseley Park. The drawing room has a gilded ceiling that was especially decorated for a visit to the Park by James I. The fantastically ornate chalk fireplace was carved from a single block of chalk to a design by Holbein. The jambs or legs of the fireplace feature both Corinthian columns and terminal figures (human top half, columnar bottom) and the overmantel has four more extravagantly carved terminal figures incorporated into the decoration. Unidentified paintings hang on either side of the fireplace. Also shown are two Elizabethan ‘maid of honour’ chairs, supposedly used by the maids of Elizabeth I when attending to her at court. In front of the fire is an animal skin [leopard] rug. Loseley Park is situated in the hamlet of Littleton, Surrey. The estate was acquired by More-Molyneux family (who are still resident), at the beginning of the 16th century. Loseley appears in Domesday Book of 1086 as ‘Losele’. There is some fading to the edges and some small flaws in the print itself, likely sustained in the printing process rather than a flaw to the original plate or negative.
