the Georgian Parlour


This is the parlour of my Georgian house. Parlours were for general every day use, and were usually found on the ground floor of Georgian houses. Parlours were usually furnished in a less extravagant way to the drawing rooms, as they would rarely have been used to entertain important visitors. I have set the parlour up as if a game of cards is being played; or perhaps has just finished! I made the drapes around the windows myself, and as a first attempt at sewing anything other than a shirt button, I think they look OK.
