Details

The lecture will provide insights into the development of more sophisticated room arrangements and changing taste in interior decoration from 1600 to 1800. Boston Manor provides a microcosm of these changing fashions, with elaborate ceilings and overmantels of strapwork decoration and allegorical themes in the Jacobean age giving way to a more elegant form of living, with reception rooms displaying a range of decorative elements including newly-fashionable wallpapers.
