The Horoscope Bedroom
Originally a sitting room. Connecting to it’s own conservatory, the ceiling is painted with the constellation of the stars at the time of the third marquess’s birth, and this is one of the rooms that was remodelled by the sixth marquess to allow him to use Mount Stuart as a home. The bed is his, and it is stunning, with carvings inspired by the tales of Reynard the Fox. On the bedposts are carvings of the fox playing a psaltery to lull the marquess to sleep, and on the other side is a badger with a set of bagpipes to waken him up. Hovering above is the noble lion in a nightcap. The furnishings are beautiful and it includes Egyptian revival chairs.
