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

The Yellow Drawing-Room - A Glimpse into Royal Opulence
EDITORS COMMENTS
. Step back in time and immerse yourself in the grandeur of Buckingham Palace's Yellow Drawing-Room, captured beautifully in this 1844 photo print. This exquisite interior space, located on the first story of the palace's western front, stands as a testament to regal elegance. With its towering height of 32 feet and nearly square shape, the room commands attention from all who enter. However, it is the harmonious color scheme that truly steals the show. The walls are adorned with luxurious figured yellow silk, complemented by window draperies crafted from equally lavish materials. Every detail has been carefully considered; even the furniture - sofas, chairs, seats - matches this resplendent hue. Mirrors grace each end of the room and above an exquisitely sculptured white marble chimney-piece by Westmacott. The sheer sumptuousness of every piece within this space is awe-inspiring – vases filled with vibrant flowers add bursts of color while clocks, bronzes, inlaid tables, and cabinets showcase impeccable taste. This snapshot offers a glimpse into a world where opulence knows no bounds. It transports us to an era when royalty reveled amidst such splendor and invites us to marvel at their refined tastes. Let your imagination wander as you contemplate what conversations may have taken place within these hallowed walls or how sunlight danced upon its golden surfaces. Experience history come alive through this remarkable print – a true treasure for any admirer of architectural beauty or royal heritage alike.
