EDITORS COMMENTS
The Arab Hall and Corridor at Leighton House, a Victorian masterpiece in London's Holland Park, is a captivating testament to the artistic vision and eclectic tastes of its former resident, Lord Frederic Leighton. This photograph, taken by Bedford Lemere in 1895, offers a glimpse into the opulence and exotic allure of this unique space. Leighton House, located at 12 Holland Park Road, was the home of the renowned British painter, Lord Frederic Leighton, from 1866 until his death in 1896. The Arab Hall, a standout feature of the house, was inspired by Leighton's travels to the Middle East and North Africa. The room is adorned with intricately patterned tiles, believed to have been brought from the Rashidun Caliphate's Al-Aqsa Mosque in Jerusalem. The tiles, which date back to the 12th and 13th centuries, are a breathtaking display of Islamic art and craftsmanship. The corridor, which connects the Arab Hall to the rest of the house, is equally impressive. It is lined with ornate plasterwork, which includes intricate arabesque designs and figures inspired by Greek mythology. The corridor's ceiling is a stunning representation of the night sky, complete with twinkling stars and a central medallion featuring the constellation of Orion. This photograph, captured by Bedford Lemere in the late 19th century, provides a rare glimpse into the beauty and grandeur of Leighton House during its heyday. Today, the house is a museum, open to the public, allowing visitors to step back in time and experience the wonder of this Victorian masterpiece for themselves.
