Cole & Son’s designers took inspiration for Chamber
Angels from the unique, carousel style structure
found on the ceiling of The Presence Chamber,
which forms part of the King’s State Apartments at
Kensington Palace. Originally designed by William
Kent, one of the most influential names in early 18th
century design, the celebratory style of the pattern is
evocative of the essence of the room, being a place
where the king entertained and received courtiers,
ministers and foreign ambassadors. Dancing figures
have been combined with delicate foliage and the
ripened fruits, once found in the Kensington Palace
Orangery, create a decoratively decadent design.
