The long gallery at Syon House, Isleworth, London, England. April 2024. The last of five rooms redesigned by Robert Adam at this London residence of the Duke of Northumberland. After some centuries of candle smoke and lamp smoke, the original bright blue/pink colour scheme has dulled somewhat and the vast effort of cleaning it is daunting. Sample attempts with specially colour-matched Farrow & Ball paint in recent decades negatively interacted with the underlying colour, so was abandoned. #syonhouse#syonpark#isleworth#london#england#plasterwork#robertadam#countryhouses
Okay, I know I left my small blue notebook in one of these drawers... #HardwickHall Derbyshire. Amazing collection of old filing drawers! #antiques#countryhouses
