Description:
Interior view of the boudoir in St Fagans Castle, Cardiff. The room is partially panelled with wooden dado panelling and an extremely detailed carved frieze running around the top of the wall. The fireplace has an elaborately carved surround and overmantel. A pair of terminal figures (human top half, columnar bottom) frame the fireplace and the overmantel has many more carved figures in it, along with two dragons sitting at the very top of the overmantel. The wallpaper is a busy floral design and there are patterned rugs covering the wooden floor. A solid Jacobean style cabinet that compliments the fireplace sits to the left of the fire. The cabinet is extravagant in its decoration, deeply carved giving a three-dimensional effect to the design. The cabinet also has two supporting terminal figures, a number of carved faces, putti (cherubs), foliage and grapes, mer-putti (cherubs), shells and dragon like monsters. There is pottery on display and three upholstered chairs. St Fagans Castle (Welsh: Castell Sain Ffagan) is an Elizabethan mansion in St Fagans, Cardiff, Wales, dating from the late 16th century. A medieval castle dating from the 13th century previously existed on the site. The house and remaining medieval fortifications are Grade I listed. The property was owned by successive Lord Windsors, Earl of Plymouth until 1947 when the Windsor-Clives gave the house and grounds to the Amgueddfa Cymru - National Museum Wales and the grounds subsequently became the site of the Welsh Folk Museum, now St Fagans National Museum of History. There are some flaws in the print itself, likely sustained in the printing process rather than a flaw to the original plate or negative.
