Albert' s plan for Buckingham Palace included new lighting, new heating and new rooms. Most impressive of all was a vast new ballroom. Victoria and Albert loved dancing, and this room was built to host entertainments on an epic scale. It was the biggest room in all of Britain. The original decor is now hidden behind this tasteful but rather more bland white and gold. But in Albert and Victoria' s time, it was all the colours of the rainbow. The walls were lined with crimson silks and there were frescoes with dancing figures all around the top. You have to imagine it not as it is now, but in glorious Technicolor. At the time, Albert' s decorative scheme was hailed as a triumph, and Buckingham Palace was called the headquarters of taste. |
