The Yellow Drawing-Room, Buckingham Palace,1844. Creator: Unknown.

The Yellow Drawing-Room, Buckingham Palace, 1844. Interior of the London residence of the British royal family: 'the most superb of the entire range of rooms that occupy the western or garden front of the first story, and the northernmost in the suite. Its height is 32 feet, and its form nearly square...the main beauty of the apartment lies in the harmony of colour adopted for its draperies...namely, a series of shades of yellow...Thus, the walls are hung with figured yellow silk, and the window draperies are of similar costly material; as are the sofas, chairs, seats...at each end, and above the chimney-piece, are placed superb mirrors. The chimney-piece is of exquisitely white marble, sculptured by Westmacott. The furniture of the room is truly sumptuous; and the assemblage of vases filled with flowers, clocks, bronzes, inlaid tables, cabinets, &c., in exquisite taste'. From "Illustrated London News", 1844, Vol I.
