The Military, Naval, and County Service Club, St. James's-Street, [London] - Principal Drawing-Room, 1850. 'The style of decoration is that of Louis Quatorze...a splendid apartment, with an entire frontage in St. James's-street...The ground-colour is azure; and the coving of the ceiling, and its panels, as well as the panel mouldings on the walls, are richly gilt. The door-frames and head-ways are also gilt; and above each is a painting a la Watteau, in a gilt scroll-work frame, as also above the pier-glasses, which are very large. The chimney-pieces are of marble, and above each is a lofty glass. The enrichments of masks, terminal heads, &e. throughout the room are heavily gilt; and from the centre of the ceiling hangs a large cut- glass chandelier. The carpet is of dark rich colours: and the furniture mahogany and morone morocco of first-rate manufacture, by Dowbiggin'. From "Illustrated London News", 1850.
