Dining Room Window Upholstery

The weave structure of the window upholstery, on both the north and west windows, is known as ‘Gobelin gauze’ and resembles tapestry.

The upholstery on both windows consists of an outer gilt wood pelmet, tails, valance and curtains.

The upholstery is believed to have been installed for the visit of the English Queen Victoria to Muckross in 1861.

Light levels in this room are kept low in order to protect these delicate textiles.
