Panelled Rooms

A Quantity of Late 19th Century Carved Oak Panelling A quantity of late 19th Century Renaissance revival oak panelling. This room has been fully restored and brought back together after a number of previous alterations and adaptations. New cornice mouldings, pilasters and skirting have been added, to frame the highly carved panels and caryatids. Portrait medallions are centred in each main panel, with a carved decorative chair rail and mythical creatures depicted in the top panel. The panelling was most likely reinstalled by one Arthur Edward Lukins who acquired the Queen Anne period
house in Englefield Green, Surrey, from the Crown Estate in 1913, which was thence known as ‘Crown House’. An interesting footnote is that the next owner, Mrs Gratton-Story, had as her guests at the
property in 1958, Hollywood greats Elizabeth Taylor and Eddie Fisher during their filming of Suddenly Last Summer.
