Orleans House, The Octagon
Restoration of the ornate plasterwork in the Octagon
Orleans House, The Octagon, Orleans Rd, Twickenham, TW1 3BL
Added in 1721 by James Gibbs to the 1710 'Orleans House' adjacent, the Octagon was a miniature banqueting house or pavilion, created purely for entertainment. Designed in order to host King George I, its interior decoration is exquisite. The fine plasterwork and paint were damaged by a leaking roof and have now been restored and gilded with funding from HOLT.
