EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken by H Bedford Lemere in March 1911, offers a glimpse into the opulent interior of The Red Room at Bath House on Piccadilly in London. Commissioned by Sir Julius Wernher, an affluent businessman who amassed his wealth through South African diamond mines and gold fields, this image showcases part of his remarkable collection. The Red Room exudes grandeur and sophistication with its lavish furnishings and intricate detailing. Display cases line the room, housing a selection of Sir Julius Wernher's treasured possessions. These cases are filled with exquisite artifacts that reflect his refined taste and passion for collecting. Every corner of this magnificent space tells a story; each item carefully chosen to enhance the overall aesthetic appeal. From ornate sculptures to delicate porcelain vases, every piece adds to the allure of The Red Room. Sadly, Bath House met its demise in 1960 when it was demolished. However, thanks to Lemere's skillful photography, we can still marvel at its former glory today. This photograph serves as a testament to both Sir Julius Wernher's discerning eye for beauty and Lemere's ability to capture the essence of historical spaces. As we gaze upon this striking print from Historic England's archives, we are transported back in time - immersed in an era where luxury knew no bounds within these hallowed walls.
