Fairfax House - Drawing Room

The Drawing Room is a lovely room situated directly beside the Red Saloon, providing a more intimate room for private entertaining or simply relaxing. The room is furnished with some superb pieces of period furniture (see the photos below for a few examples), and finished with green damask wallpaper featuring an artichoke pattern that was popular in the Georgian period.
