Victorian Interior

The Vestibule of Sydney Town Hall is a lavish combination of colour and ornament. The crisply detailed plasterwork borrows influences from Moorish and neo-Classical architecture, fashionable in the mid 19th century. A complex polychrome palette of over forty different colours and 22 carat gilt highlights embellish the hundreds of swags, scrolls, geometric ornament and fine plaster tracery which decorate the walls and ceiling.......Sydney Town Hall website
