BSL Talk: The V&A's Damascus Room

These rooms were the focus of hospitality, but the objects displayed there also announced a family's wealth and status. When cities began to modernise in the late 19th century, many of these decorative interiors were removed for sale. The V&A was the earliest western collection to acquire one. This display will present some of the paneling and a selection of the objects that once dressed this room. 18.30-19.30 Free, booking essential
