EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite photograph captures the grandeur and elegance of The Breakers, the magnificent summer residence of Consuelo Vanderbilt and Charles Spencer-Churchill, the 9th Duke of Marlborough, in Newport, Rhode Island, USA. Built in 1895, this iconic house was a symbol of the opulence and wealth of the Gilded Age in America. Consuelo Vanderbilt, a socialite and heiress, married the Duke of Marlborough in 1895, and this house became their marital home. The Breakers, designed by architect Richard Morris Hunt, is a French Renaissance-style chateau, inspired by the Chateau des Marmottes in France. The house sits majestically on a cliff overlooking the Atlantic Ocean, with its stunning facade adorned with intricate stone carvings, elaborate balconies, and towering turrets. The interior of the house is equally impressive, with opulent furnishings, grand ballrooms, and ornate decorations. The Breakers was a testament to the extravagant lifestyle of the Vanderbilt family and the Duke and Duchess of Marlborough. The house was the setting for many grand social events and lavish parties, attended by the elite of American and European society. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time of grandeur and elegance, when the Vanderbilt family and the Duke and Duchess of Marlborough ruled over their magnificent summer residence in Newport, Rhode Island.
