The Entrance Hall, Eltham Palace
Light floods in through the glass and concrete domed ceiling, which is seven meters in diameter. The interior design was by the Swedish architect and designer Rolf Engstromer. The Stockholm based artist Jerk Werkmaster created the wooden marquetry panels either side of the main entrance. On one side is depicted Italian Scenery with a Roman soldier whilst on the other is Swedish scenery with a Viking soldier, both panels represent some of the Courtaulds favourite buildings in both countries, including Sweden’s dome of Gustav Vasa church, Ostberg’s town hall and the Royal Palace and Italy’s Palazzo Vecchio and the church of Santa Maria della Salute.
The Art Deco section of Eltham Palace was designed by Seely and Paget 1933-5. Built for and partly designed by Stephen Courtauld. Grade II* listed.
The marvellous rug is a copy of the original which is in the V&A and was designed by American textile designer Marian Dorn.
This was used as a location in the television series Trust.
