The Military, Naval, and County Service Club, St. James's-Street, [London] - Principal Drawing-Room, 1850. The style of decoration is that of Louis Quatorze...a splendid apartment, with an entire frontage in St. James's-street...The ground-colour is azure; and the coving of the ceiling, and its panels, as well as the panel mouldings on the walls, are richly gilt. The door-frames and head-ways are also gilt; and above each is a painting a la Watteau, in a gilt scroll-work frame, as also above the pier-glasses, which are very large. The chimney-pieces are of marble, and above each is a lofty glass. The enrichments of masks, terminal heads, &e. throughout the room are heavily gilt; and from the centre of the ceiling hangs a large cut- glass chandelier. The carpet is of dark rich colours: and the furniture mahogany and morone morocco of first-rate manufacture, by Dowbiggin'. From "Illustrated London News", 1850

EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken in 1850, showcases the Principal Drawing-Room of The Military, Naval, and County Service Club, located on St. James's-Street in London. The room's decorative style harks back to the opulence of Louis Quatorze, exuding an air of grandeur and sophistication. The azure ground-color of the walls is accentuated by the richly gilt coving and panel mouldings. The door-frames and head-ways are also gilded, with each featuring a painting a la Watteau in a gilt scroll-work frame. Above the large pier-glasses, which reflect the room's splendor, hang more paintings in similar frames. The chimney-pieces are adorned with marble, and each is graced with a lofty glass. The enrichments of masks, terminal heads, and other ornate details throughout the room are heavily gilt, adding to the room's luxurious feel. From the center of the ceiling hangs a large cut-glass chandelier, illuminating the room with its crystalline brilliance. The carpet, in dark rich colors, adds a sense of warmth and comfort to the space. The furniture, made of mahogany and morocco leather, is of the finest manufacture by Dowbiggin, adding to the room's overall elegance and refinement. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, providing a window into the opulent world of London's elite social clubs during the mid-19th century.
