Title
Interior of a house in Grosvenor Street
Description
View of the lecture room in 49 Grosvenor Street, Mayfair. It is a high-ceilinged white-painted room with two wood-panelled doors in the far wall, a chimneypiece to the left, and a mirror to the right. It has a moulded cornice decorated with small painted panels between each bracket. More small brackets also run around the wall edge of the cornice and a border of flowerheads between twisted piping enriched with gilt is on the ceiling edge. The chimneypiece is of dark marble with carved legs and frieze and the fireplace has been closed and replaced by a gas fire. Comfortable armchairs are grouped around the room, tables have an array of periodicals and newspapers, and a sofa stands in front of the full-length mirror on the right-hand wall. The walls are painted white, with pilasters at various points. Each pilaster is decorated with a central panel of arabesque patterns painted on canvas. A long sash window with drapes is to the left of the far corner of the room. 49 was, at the time of the photo, the venue of the Sesame Pioneers Lyceum Club, a literary and social club for men and women. The property was built in 1725 and is Grade II listed, listing number 1357082.
