Description
The Chinese House at Shugborough Hall is a Grade I building, erected by Admiral Anson around 1747 following his voyage around the world. It is a rectangular structure with one storey, featuring plastered walls and a pyramidal leaded roof with prominent eaves. The exterior is adorned with elaborately fenestrated wood windows. Inside, there was originally a fine plaster ceiling, which has since been removed to the Hall. However, an alcove remains, decorated with red lacquer fretwork and gilded pillars. The cornice is embellished in red, blue, gold, and white. The building has been recently well restored.
