O...Thank you for another fascinating blog entry. <br /><br />On a side note, I just found out that Christie's recently auctioned off the alliance rings of the wife of the Duc de Chartres. Can you imagine such an intimate object, with so much history connected, ending up on the auction block? <br /><br />I have to admit, I had never even heard of alliance rings. I think the design is unique and very romantic - two bands intersecting to form one.<br /><br />If you want to read more or see images of the alliance rings, visit my blog:<br /><br />http://leahmariebrown.blogspot.com/<br /><br />Thanks again for another interesting read.Leah Marie Brownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05432159961271108072noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5022318990784415929.post-92179667088255363672010-03-09T02:27:33.478-05:002010-03-09T02:27:33.478-05:00Ornate and incredibly beautiful...Someone will sna...Ornate and incredibly beautiful...Someone will snap this up!

I chose the drawing room because it showed more of the objets d'art with which the Regent/King filled his abodes. Carlton House was deemed "one of the finest royal residences anywhere in contemporary Europe," according to David Watkin's The Royal Interiors of Regency England. The author goes on to say, "George IV's barbarous decision to demolish his exquisite miniature palace can never be forgiven...the ghost of so much vanished magnificence still haunts the eastern end of Pall Mall." I must say, I felt the same way when I came upon the site.LorettaChasehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03641586650738945106noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5022318990784415929.post-68459724127399026032010-03-08T12:17:18.902-05:002010-03-08T12:17:18.902-05:00Is the room with the red curtains in the lower pic...Is the room with the red curtains in the lower picture in one of the English royal palaces?
