One of the most splendidly-embellished apartments is the Music Room...It rises to the height of 41 feet, and is surmounted by a dome 30 feet in diameter; it is richly dight with green and gold, and from the centre and outer circle are suspended lustres for lighting the apartment; the former hanging from gold dragons. In the panels flanking the chimneypiece are two highly finished views in china, the framework of which is enriched with dragons and serpents.

The Music-Room in the Pavilion, Brighton, 1856, is a breathtaking testament to the opulence and grandeur of the Victorian era. This photograph, taken from an 1856 issue of Illustrated London News, showcases one of the most exquisitely embellished apartments in the Royal Pavilion. Rising to a height of 41 feet, the Music Room is crowned with a 30-foot diameter dome, adorned with green and gold decorations. Suspended from the center and outer circle of the dome are magnificent chandeliers, their gold dragons adding an oriental touch to the room. The chimneypiece is flanked by two intricately finished china views, their gold frames adorned with dragons and serpents. On the northern side, a magnificent organ by Lincoln takes center stage in a recessed area. At the time of its installation, it was said to be the largest in the kingdom.
