- Join me as I explore the Rothschild banking family historic country house Waddesdon Manor in England. We will explore inside and outside of this beautiful place. Special mention for the James Pulham & Son (Pulhamite) rockwork around the estate. Enjoy, Adam :)
*Wow* built for weekend parties , must be nice. Always love these tours , great upload as always.
Always love nice feedback such as this and appreciate it greatly. Many thanks, Adam :)
Very nice video, thank you! One thing that these mansions of 19th-century billionaires have in common is the vulgar and tasteless display of wealth in the form of rooms crammed with furniture, statues and paintings. The message is: "LOOK HOW RICH I AM!" Don´t get me wrong, most of the pieces are wonderful, but filling rooms with them turns the house into a warehouse or a huge antique shop. The only place that is a beautiful exception to the rule is the former residence of Henry Clay Frick in NY, now the home of the famous Frick Collection. Thank you for this beautiful tour!
You're very welcome! Yes, I totally get what you're saying. It can get a bit much when they're totally stuffed with stuff. Sometimes less is more. I prefer it when each room has maybe one standout piece that you can focus your attention on. However, this place was pretty much just built for displaying his arts and other pieces and for partying, so i kind of understand how it ended up like this. I do love that little Rotunda that has bits of gold and mother of pearl with little crystal pillars. Definitely a place worth having a look at. Thanks again, Adam :)
Keeping this between us? I would rather have an empty room, than filled with stuff i have to keep dusted
I tend to agree. A house stuffed with things, however beautiful, loses its charm a bit. But, keeping in mind that the house was built for housing his collection of things, I can understand why it is stuffed

@@AdamExploresBritain yes this place is chique, you're a good filmer, thanks again for doing this. 👌greetings
Quite a house! I have a question. You show a column rising up from the floor. I guess. Looks like a vaulted ceiling i think. what is it?
Yes, I believe that was part of those winding staircases. It was the central pillar that eventually reached up to the roof. The stairs wrap around the lower portion of the column. Very beautiful I thought. Thanks, Adam :)
