The King's Bed Chamber, Windsor Castle, 1844. Creator: Stephen Sly

The King's Bed Chamber, Windsor Castle, 1844. One of the rooms in the King's State Apartment created for Charles II in the late 1670s. The prevailing colour in the room was light blue, with the picture frames silvered instead of gilded, to harmonize with the general tone. This we think to have been in excellent taste; but the effect was somewhat marred by a carpet, of a pattern too large and florid, both in colour and design, to accord with the rest of the arrangements. The mantel piece is of white marble; the fire place, fenders, &c., of polished steel, with massive standards of bright chased brass, having a most elegant effect'. From "Illustrated London News", 1844, Vol I
