@spencerhouselondon: An exquisite salon ‘fitted up with all possible taste’ once said Arthur Young of Lady Spencer’s Room in 1769. Although originally described as ‘Lady Spencer’s Dressing Room’ this modestly sized yet lavishly decorated interior was not used as a dressing room in the modern sense, but a private salon where Lady Spencer could entertain her friends and display her fine collection of paintings. #conservation #hiddengems #SpencerHouseLondon #london #historytok
