Venue Description:
The Ballroom
This magnificent room, is one of the grandest Victorian interiors remaining in London. The rich ornament, in an Italian cinquecento style, was, like the main entrance carving, by Boekbinder, and largely survives. In the spandrels over the arches are reclining figures representing the arts and sciences. The great Corinthian semi-columns have rich leaf-decoration around the foot of their shafts. The original painted glass remains. There is elaborate renaissance ornament, and figures representing sculpture, painting, music and poetry. The room has walnut panelling to eight feet in height.
The Old Billards Room Jacques Bar and Boyd’s Brasserie
The walls are lined with alabaster, with bands of reddish Bardiglio marble, also used for the door surrounds. The dado has a cap and base of Verde de Prato marble, with a die (panel) of Sanguino; a similar combination was used for the columns. The vestibule was also paved in marble. This area survives much as built in 1883-1886. In 1914, the Brasserie was linked to the Marble Hall. The
Brasserie retains its 1880s ceiling with its bracketed cornice. The marble wall matches the adjacent bar.
