17th-century Brussels tapestry
Mirror table-top temporarily mislaid
Set of eight dining chairs by George Bullock, for the Duke of Palmela
Palmela lived at the Portuguese Embassy at 74 Audley Street, a great Georgian house, until 1819 after he had been made Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs and War and returned to Portugal. He was very close friends with William Beckford, novelist, art collector and creator of Fonthill Abbey. Letters exist between the two describing Beckford’s visits to Palmela when he was living in the dubious Thomas Hotel in Berkeley Square, in between Palmela’s leaving for Portugal.
