EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: "A Regency-Era Haven of Ornamental Glass: John Blades' Upper Showroom, London (1823)" In this exquisite handcoloured copperplate engraving, we are transported back to the early 19th century and into the world of John Blades, a renowned crystal and cut glass manufacturer based in London. The image, taken from Rudolph Ackermann's Repository of Arts, offers a captivating glimpse into Blades' upper showroom located on Ludgate Hill. The engraving, created by John Gendall, showcases an elegant and ornate interior filled with an array of dazzling glass creations. The room is adorned with intricately designed chandeliers, their crystals casting a warm, inviting glow over the space. The walls are lined with shelves displaying an impressive collection of vases, bowls, and other decorative glass pieces, each one a testament to Blades' masterful craftsmanship. The setting is further enhanced by the presence of a tranquil landscape painting on the wall, depicting the picturesque gardens at Syon House on the Isle of Syon near London. The painting, complete with a serene lake, a pond, and a charming boat, adds to the refined atmosphere of the showroom. The Regency-era design elements, such as the high ceilings, ornate mouldings, and intricate details, are reminiscent of the opulence and grandeur of the aristocracy and landed gentry during this period. The presence of a coat of arms on the wall, bearing the crest of the Duke of Northumberland, further underscores the connection between Blades' business and the aristocracy. This enchanting image offers a glimpse into the past, showcasing the beauty and elegance of John Blades' ornamental glass creations and the refined aesthetic of the Regency era.
