Next door to the Pear Room is the Venetian Suite, which is the official start of the electronic tour, as there is a screen in the room with a 6 minute introductory video. It was the second of two guest double bedrooms. Its dimensions were designed to accommodate joinery removed from Virginia Courthard's bedroom in Grosvenor Square. These include fragments of 1780s Venetian panelling with a Florentine Renaissance style installed by eccentric Italian aristocrat Peter Malacrida (1889-1980) in the 1920s. Malacrida added a screen of three arches on the window wall, and arabesque designs painted onto mirrors. The entrance and cupboard doors are embellished with false book spines. The key object in this room is the late 17th-century Italian tabernacle, pictured here. Looking south-southeast.
