The Long Gallery at the Royal Pavilion of Brighton. The walls of the Long Gallery were painted with a chinoiserie design of trees, rocks, shrubs and birds against a pink background. The present scheme is a 1950s reconstruction of the original, intended to evoke a bamboo grove. Full of exotic furnishings and Chinese objets d’art, the Long Gallery uses clever decorative techniques such as iron cast to imitate bamboo, furniture in beech simulating bamboo, and carefully placed mirrors.Source: Brighton Museums -- source link
