The Drawing Room at Cragside, Northumberland
EDITORS COMMENTS
captures the grandeur and elegance of this historic English estate. This photograph, taken by an anonymous 20th-century English photographer, showcases the exquisite interior design and Victorian architecture of Cragside. Built in 1870 by Richard Norman Shaw for Sir William Armstrong, Cragside was a pioneering house that became the first in the world to be lit by hydroelectric power. The photograph highlights one of its most remarkable features: a magnificent 10-ton carved Italian marble chimneypiece designed by W. Lethaby specifically for the visit of the Prince and Princess of Wales in 1884. The room itself is adorned with intricate details, from its barrel-vaulted ceiling to its Tudor Revival style furnishings. Every element exudes opulence and sophistication, reflecting the wealth and taste of Lord Armstrong. Through this image captured by Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder collection, viewers are transported back to the late 19th century when Cragside stood as a symbol of innovation and luxury. It serves as a testament to both architectural brilliance and technological advancement during that era. This print from "100 Favourite Houses" offers us a glimpse into history—a moment frozen in time where we can appreciate not only the beauty but also the significance of this extraordinary residence.
