neoclassical fireplace in the Drawing Room at Kedleston Hall

            Kedleston Hall is a stately home in Derbyshire, England, owned by the National Trust.  It is the seat of the Curzon family and was built from 1759-65 for Nathaniel Curzon, the first Baron Scarsdale.  The main architect was Robert Adam, the famous exponent of neoclassicism.

This picture shows the marble fireplace in the Drawing Room, with a pair of caryatids holding up the mantelpiece.

The layout of Kedleston Hall is Palladian, according to the plans of the original architects Matthew Brettingham and James Paine who took inspiration from the thinking of 16th century Italian architect Andrea Palladio, as set out in his books, the Quattro Libri.

The house was the location for the 2008 film The Duchess starring Keira Knightley and Ralph Fiennes.
