With rare access, interior designer and artist Ashley Hicks has
photographed the State Rooms of Buckingham Palace, home of
Britain's monarch since 1837. An important representation of
Regency, Victorian, and Edwardian styles, the palace is the work of
such noted architects as John Nash. Hicks's eye brings a vibrant
take on the formal spaces, capturing the magnificent rooms
furnished with treasures from the Royal Collection. Starting at the
Grand Staircase, Hicks leads us through the opulently decorated
State Rooms, which include the White Drawing Room and the Blue
Drawing Room that both overlook the palace gardens; the Ballroom,
which is the setting for twenty investiture ceremonies each year;
and the Throne Room, used by Queen Victoria for spectacular costume
balls in the 1840s. The long, skylit Picture Gallery is hung with
important works of art in the Royal Collection by Rembrandt,
Rubens, Poussin, van Dyck, Vermeer, and Canaletto, among others.
Decorative furnishings from George IV's exotic Brighton Pavilion
lend a fanciful turn to many of the rooms. This intimate tour
through the Buckingham Palace State Rooms is a necessary addition
to the libraries of devotees of the royal family, English
architecture, decoration, and the fine arts in general.
