Description:
Interior view showing the salon or picture gallery at Dawpool House, Thurstaston. Dante Gabriel Rossetti’s painting The Loving Cup (1867) stands prominently in the picture gallery on the left. The fireplace is a fantastically elaborate piece of carved stonework that incorporates a curtained gallery area into the overmantel. Mermaids or rather mer-putti (cherubs) feature repeatedly in the decoration. The salon has a barrel vaulted ceiling and ornate plasterwork, a strapwork design hosts more merfolk, cornucopias and grotesque faces. There are many other paintings (unidentified) on display; part of a grand piano is visible, as well as some fine examples of Victorian furniture. Thomas Henry Ismay, chairman of the White Star Line, purchased The Loving Cup at the sale of Frederick Richards Leyland’s estate at Christies, 28th May 1892 (lot 58) and is now held at The National Museum of Western Art, Tokyo. Dawpool House was designed by the renowned architect Richard Norman Shaw for Ismay and his wife Margaret. The couple also worked closely with John Aldam Heaton on the decoration, which was inspired by contemporary fashion. They moved in to their new home in 1884 but after Ismay’s death in 1899, the family were unenthusiastic about continuing to live there and sold it to F. W. P. Rutter. Having served a stint as an officer’s orthopaedic hospital during the First World War, the house was demolished in 1926 or 1927.
