Taken in 1889 by renowned photographer Henry Bedford Lemere, this image showcases the exquisite interior design of a stately home owned by Leopold de Rothschild. The room exudes an air of aristocracy and wealth, with its opulent furnishings and elegant architectural details. A magnificent billiards table takes center stage, inviting guests to engage in leisurely games while enjoying the company of their peers. The bay window floods the space with natural light, illuminating the stucco walls adorned with intricate illustrations. Ascott House itself is a testament to both history and luxury. Inherited by Leopold de Rothschild in 1874, it served as his sanctuary from the bustling world of banking and finance that he was deeply involved in as a member of one of Europe's most influential banking families. Additionally, Leopold was known for his passion for horse breeding and racing. This photograph offers us a glimpse into an era when entertainment was synonymous with sophistication and refinement. It transports us back to a time when country houses were not only symbols of status but also places where artistry met functionality. Henry Bedford Lemere's skillful composition allows us to appreciate every detail within this remarkable room – from the ornate table to the meticulously designed interiors.
