Scope and Content Interior of Redfern Ltd, Ladies' Tailors, Nos 31-2 Princes Street, Edinburgh The interior of Redfern's new premises in Princes Street was photographed by the distinguished architectural photographer, Harry Bedford Lemere, in 1893. Redfern Ltd were appointed 'Ladies' Tailors to Her Majesty Queen Victoria'. This room, with its Baronial-style fireplace, panelled walls and huge thistle-patterned wallpaper, may have been inspired by the decoration of Balmoral Castle, Queen Victoria's beloved Deeside residence. A portrait of the Queen hangs above the fireplace. Queen Victoria built Balmoral Castle in 1848 in a Baronial style and decorated it accordingly. Her sitting room was designed in tartan and thistle-patterned chintz, and the drawing room was said by Lord Rosebery 'to be the ugliest room in the world'. Source: RCAHMS contribution to SCRAN.
