Description
Dining Table of the Durbar Room Osborne House. Designed by Rudyard Kiplingââ¬â¢s father, Lockwood, and master carver Bhai Ram Singh, this unique room is detailed with intricate Indian-style plaster work to reflect Queen Victoriaââ¬â¢s then status as Empress of India. The room was the venue for ceremonial dinners for European royalty and the backdrop to Queen Victoriaââ¬â¢s favourite theatrical entertainments. A new banqueting table re-creates the scene of a dinner held in the Durbar Room in the late 19th century, and Indian gifts are displayed in new cabinets.
