EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning Victorian bathroom interior, captured in August 1893 by renowned photographer H Bedford Lemere, offers a glimpse into the elegant and opulent world of Victorian-era design. The image, titled BL12335, showcases the bathroom at 28 Ashley Place in the heart of Westminster, London. The interior design was the brilliant work of H and J Cooper, who expertly blended functionality and aesthetics to create a space that was both practical and beautiful. The room is bathed in soft, natural light that filters in through the large, arched window. The white, tiled walls reflect the light, creating a bright and airy atmosphere. The sunken tub, surrounded by ornate, cast-iron bath fixtures, takes center stage. The tub is adorned with intricate floral designs, adding a touch of elegance and sophistication. The room is further adorned with ornate, wooden cabinetry, housing an array of apothecary jars filled with various toiletries. The Victorian era was known for its love of ornate detail and luxurious materials, and this bathroom is no exception. The room is furnished with plush, velvet-covered seating, adding to the overall sense of indulgence and relaxation. The floor is covered in intricately patterned, ceramic tiles, which not only add to the visual appeal but also make the room easy to clean and maintain. This photograph is a testament to the meticulous attention to detail and exquisite craftsmanship that defined the Victorian era. It offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back in time to an era of elegance, luxury, and opulence. The image, commissioned by the lady of the house, is a precious reminder of the beauty and sophistication of Victorian interior design.
