    This is wonderful! You all deserve to be proud. I love these timeless architectural pieces, which were a 'revival' in the early 1800s. This type of video is so encouraging. This is history intact, in its original space, now restored for future generations to enjoy and understand. Very rare indeed.

    It appears that the panels behind the walls were stained and varnished not painted white. How did you come to the conclusion of making them white again?

    If you could show more details, more objects, and spend less time self congratulating and showing people's faces, that would be useful to the other potential billions of people who could be interested in Sloane's art and collection, but won't be around London for a while, or ever...
