Gilded they are! However, according to my in-laws (locals) they were only gilded by the previous Duke and his wife in the last 30-odd years to outrage by many. Taste-makers are definitely taste-breakers.
www.offthelist.co.uk is the result of years of voracious antique buying around the UK; no auction, dealership or junk shop (a favourite haunt) failed to keep a gem buried or kitsch ceramic unpurchased. Subsequently, the house began to bulge at its seems and my more formal selling outlets were never going to be suitable showrooms for the whimsy and delight of my ever expanding collection. The lady in my life, I discovered, began to dig into drawers and siphon off surfaces suitable trinkets for presents and through her unintended genius Off the List was born!
This is an amazing room! I really want to know more about that!
