Old travel Blog photograph of the dining room in the castle by Inveraray, Scotland. The elaborate painting was completed in 1784 by two French artists Girard and Guinand, whose work only survives at Inveraray. Girard was also one of the principal decorative artists employed by the young Prince of Wales when decorating his grand residence Carlton House. The delicate tapestry dining chairs with gilding by Dupasquier and original Beauvais tapestry upholstery were commissioned by the 5th Duke on one of his visits to France in the 1780s. The dining table, by Gillow of Lancaster dates from about 1800.
