John Nash design for the Royal Pavilion in Brighton - The Great Kitchen was one of the first areas to be completed as part of John Nashs reconstruction of the Pavilion. It was erected in 1816 with the cooking equipment supplied over the following two years by William Stark. The ceiling is supported by four cast iron columns with painted copper palm leaves. Above, the high lantern with its twelve sash windows provides a spacious feel to the Kitchen. George IV was delighted with the design and equipment in the Kitchen, used for the sumptuous banquets he hosted. Guests were often escorted around the Kitchen and surrounding culinary offices as part of the tour of the State Apartments.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases John Nash's remarkable design for the Royal Pavilion in Brighton, specifically highlighting The Great Kitchen. Completed as part of Nash's reconstruction project in 1816, this area was one of the first to be finished. William Stark diligently supplied the cooking equipment over the following two years, ensuring that every detail was perfect. The kitchen boasts a grandeur that is truly awe-inspiring. Its ceiling is supported by four cast iron columns adorned with beautifully painted copper palm leaves. Above, a high lantern illuminates the space through twelve elegant sash windows, creating an atmosphere of spaciousness and sophistication. George IV himself was delighted with both the design and equipment found within this culinary masterpiece. This kitchen served as a hub for sumptuous banquets hosted by the king, leaving guests in awe of its splendor. As part of their tour of the State Apartments, visitors were often escorted around not only The Great Kitchen but also its surrounding culinary offices. This historic photograph captures not just an interior design marvel but also provides insight into nineteenth-century culinary practices. From ovens to utensils and glass lanterns to wall clocks, every element tells a story about this magnificent era. Preserved by The Royal Institute of British Architects' Drawings Collection and brought to us by TopFoto's archive collection from the nineteenth century, this image allows us to appreciate John Nash's genius architectural vision while immersing ourselves in a world where grand buildings housed extraordinary kitchens like no other.
