Phil and Karen


1. The Painted Hall, the largest and grandest room in the original house, is dominated by decorations painted by Louis Laguerre (1663-1721) which depict scenes from the life of the Roman General Julius Caesar (100-44 BC).

2. The Oak Room, as this room has been called since 1844, has been an overflow library, a bedroom, a space for prayers and even used for billiards. The room was radically changed by the 6th Duke of Devonshire in 1837. (The psychedelic carpet is a recent addition... :) ).

3. The Chapel was built between 1688 and 1693. It has remained almost completely unaltered ever since. (The 2.5 metre bronze figure ‘Saint Bartholomew, Exquisite Pain’ by Damien Hurst is on loan from a private collection. On the stool sits the tools he used to create it).

4. The State Drawing Room is part of a suite of rooms intended for the reception of the reigning monarch. The ceiling, by Louis Laguerre, depicts an Assembly of the Gods.

5. The State Music Room has gilded leather walls. The central door is filled by a painting, ‘Tromph l’ceil Violin and bow hanging on the door‘ by Jan Van der Vaardt (1653-1727) - an optical illusion making the viewer question if it is an actual violin & bow or not. (Inset lower left - how to hide the room guide... :cool:).

6. The State Bed chamber contains the bed originally made for King George II. After the King’s death, the 4th Duke of Devonshire claimed it as a perk of his role as Lord Chamberlain. (The bed was originally moved from Kensington Palace to the Duke’s London residence, Devonshire House, in 1761).
