Kedleston, Derbyshire - a photo on Flickriver

Kedleston Hall

An extravagant temple to the arts. Commissioned in the 1750s by Nathaniel Curzon whose ancestors had resided at Kedleston since the 12th century. The house is framed by historic parkland and boasts opulent interiors intended to impress.

Designed for lavish entertaining, Kedleston Hall displays an extensive collection of paintings, sculptures and original furnishings reflecting both the tastes of its creators and their fascination with the classical world of the Roman Empire.

Inherited by George Nathaniel Curzon, Viceroy of India between 1899 and 1905, the hall also houses the many objects he amassed during his travels in South Asia and the Middle East, and in his role leading British rule in India.

Mary Victoria Leiter, Lady Curzon (1870-1906).
by William Logsdail
(1859-1944)

Oil on Canvas (1909)

A posthumous full-length portrait of Mary Victoria Curzon, Baroness Curzon of Kedleston, Vicereine of India, wearing the 'Peacock Dress', the Boucheron diamond tiara and, a jewelled, possibly diamond and sapphire, necklace.

The Peacock Dress was worn by Lady Curzon at the 1903 Delhi Durbar Coronation Ball marking the succession of Edward VII and Queen Alexandra to Emperor and Empress of India.

The portrait was painted by Logsdail three years after Lady Curzon's death and is based on the official photograph taken of the Vicereine at the Delhi Durbar.
