The National Trust.
The Saloon.
Side Table, c1880.
One of a pair of giltwood and marble side tables, English, probably constructed late 19th century incorporating some earlier mid 18th century elements.
Each with a grey marble rectangular top above a Vitruvian scroll frieze and held by a central eagle with wings spread and flanked by double S scroll tapering brackets. The eagle standing on a spreading plinth with applied anthemion and leaf scroll decoration.
The Borghese Gladiator.
Bronze on black marble base.
French or Italian, late 18th or 19th century.
A bronze statuette of a warrior in combat, mounted on a rectangular black marble base. After The Borghese Gladiator, a Hellenistic sculpture formerly in the Borghese collection and later acquired for The Louvre. The figure lunges forward, with his left arm thrust in the air, raising a round shield embossed with the head of Medusa. His right arm, sword in hand, thrusts backwards. The blade of the sword is missing but its handle is rendered in the shape of an eagle’s head. The head, torso, arms and legs have been sleeve joined.
Copies of The Borghese Gladiator proliferated within twenty years of the Ephesus marble being discovered at Nettuno in 1611. Charles I acquired a mould of it and commissioned Hubert le Seur to cast a bronze in 1629-30. Placed in the Privy Garden at St James’ Palace, le Seur’s bronze raised the profile of the sculpture and soon after casts began to appear in country houses across the country. A plaster cast was also sent by Velázquez to Philip IV of Spain.

Caesars' Hall.
The Doric style columns support the upper floor – the 16 thicker ones are the original supporting columns with the 12 thinner columns added in the 19th Century (these have cast iron cores).
This lower entrance hall was often used for estate staff parties, local people and tradesmen, as well as being the normal entrance for the family to get to their domestic wing of the property.
Kedleston Hall is an extravagant temple to the arts. Commissioned in the 1750s by Nathaniel Curzon whose ancestors had resided at Kedleston since the 12th century. The house is framed by historic parkland and boasts opulent interiors intended to impress.
Designed for lavish entertaining, Kedleston Hall displays an extensive collection of paintings, sculpture and original furnishings, reflecting both the tastes of its creators and their fascination with the classical world of the Roman Empire.
Inherited by George Nathaniel Curzon, Viceroy of India between 1899 and 1905, the hall also houses the many objects he amassed during his travels in South Asia and the Middle East, and in his role leading British rule in India.

Over the centuries, Wimpole has been owned by several families, and each has left its mark.
The present house, at the heart of this estate, was the vision of Elsie Bambridge. Wimpole had been an empty shell until she filled it with pictures and furniture, bringing it back to a welcoming home in the 1930s.
Intimate rooms contrast with beautiful and unexpected Georgian interiors, including Soane's remarkable Yellow Drawing Room.
Stroll around the colourful parterre garden and wander through the Pleasure Grounds to the Walled Garden, abundant with fruit, vegetables and beautiful herbaceous borders.

Treasurer's House, Minster Yard, York, c14-c18.
The National Trust.
Restored 1898-1900 by Temple Moore for Frank Green of Wakefield.
Side Cabinet - one of a pair.
Ebony, tortoiseshell, brass, gilt bronze.
France, c1860.
One of a pair of ebony, brass inlaid tortoiseshell and gilt brass mounted 'Boulle' side cabinets. Late 17th / early 18th century style, inlaid with première and contra partie 'Boulle' work, each cabinet with a pair of panelled cupboard doors, raised on a shaped plinth and turned feet, with arabesque scroll work and cast mounts.
This house was the residence of the treasurers of York Minster from 1100 until the office was abolished by Henry VIII. It belonged to 3 post-Reformation Archbishops of York, the last of whom, Thomas Young, rebuilt it. Further alterations were made in the early 17th century; the building fell into decline during the 19th century by which time Young’s mansion had been split into at least five separate properties. The present garden front with its classical central entrance bay dates from c.1630. It now contains the furniture collection of the wealthy industrialist and aesthete Frank Green, who restored and remodelled the building after acquiring it in 1897. Inside, Green’s architect, Temple Moore, created a huge hall out of the 2-storey central block with a half-timbered gallery supported by classical columns. There is an early 18th-century staircase that has been attributed to the joiner-architect William Thornton, who worked at Beningbrough.
For our most recent uni project on physiognomy (basically portrait really)
I ended up approaching strangers on the street I felt looked untrustworthy and may normally avoid. I asked them if I could take a photo and took 1 shot of each.
I wanted to see if my assumption was changed in any way and similarities between each person.
