Art Deco Ceiling, Eltham Palace, SE London
Art Deco Ceiling, Eltham Palace, SE London

The original palace was given to Edward II in 1305 by the Bishop of Durham, Anthony Bek, and used as a royal residence from the 14th to the 16th century. Edward IV built the Great Hall in the 1470s, and this is the only sustantial part of the medieval palace that remains today.

In 1933, Stephen Courtauld and his wife Virginia "Ginie" Courtauld (née Peirano) acquired the lease of the palace site and restored the Great Hall (adding a minstrels' gallery to it) while building an elaborate home, internally in the Art Deco style.
