A whole-plate glass negative of part of Room 219, which was the Sitting Room of Princess Victoria of Wales (1868-1935). This room used to be the School Room and the photographs were probably taken after the room was re-decorated and hung with new wallpaper. Here the photograph shows a corner of in-built cupboards, displaying various Sevres or other porcelain pieces such as basket-weave bowls, cupids holding up fruit bowls. A large pot with relief decorations sits on top of the shelves. This pot is not on the CMS. The Sauceboats are Furstenberg RCIN 58420.1&2. (middle shelf) The basket-weave bowls are also Furstenberg RCIN 58432.1-4 and 58433.1-5. (circular and oval) Cupid bowl bottom shelf left is Meissen RCIN 58687. The remaining cupid bowls, the six plain pierced bowls (or triangular?) on centre shelf right, and the wall light are not on CMS. The 'plaque' ? bottom shelf left is difficult to identify. Matching print is 2936768.
