• Resumen

  • One of the most striking aspects of the furnishings of Carlton House and Brighton Pavilion in George IV's lifetime must have been the gilt bronzes, in the form of mounts on furniture, wall-lights, candelabra, chandeliers, clock cases and fire-dogs as well as ornaments for chimney-pieces and embellishments to porcelain and lacquer vases. A visitor to Carlton House in 1813 found the 'glitter . . . quite eblouissant'.
