Dorian Gray's Library (Grosvenor Apartment, London)
Subject
The topic of the resource
This is where I will include information and an assortment of things found in Dorian's library. The space aligns with the aesthete affinity for oriental objects-- this collection contains a bit of Japanese and Chinese artifacts, along with some southern European pieces. This was also the original hiding place for Dorian's portrait.

Title
A name given to the resource
Couch
Description
An account of the resource
The piece is described as "luxuriously-cushioned," facing the screen that hides the portrait while it is still kept in the library (Wilde 92). Though not tied to any specific schools of design, the couch seems to represent an image of leisure for the aesthete. Dorian uses it as a spot to fling himself down after lighting a cigarette (Wilde 92) and as a vantage point to think about the "mask of his shame" and the altered portrait with "a feeling of almost scientific interest"(Wilde 93).

This is one of the more fascinating spaces in the novel.

Flemish tapestry
Description
An account of the resource
This piece shows an image of a faded king and queen playing chess in a garden, as hawkers go by with birds on their wrists (Wilde 118). Again, this attic piece reinforces a Renaissance or Gothic image in Dorian's apartment.
----
This image is a loose interpretation of a tapestry like Dorian's. The Met describes the late 16th-century wool and silk tapestry as depicting hunters in a landscape. The tapestry is done " In a style referred to by Flemish weavers at the time as 'English fashion,' it was intended to hang between the cornice and the dado of a wood-paneled room."

Satinwood bookcase
Description
An account of the resource
In Dorian's attic, the piece is simply described as being of satinwood and holding his old schoolbooks (Wilde 118). Basil references the piece as being "almost empty" when Dorian brings him up to see the portrait before killing him (Wilde 148).
---
The Artstor database describes the piece as a desk and bookcase done in rosewood and satinwood, circa 1836-50. The piece is by J. & J. W. Meeks, and is of Gothic revival style. While Wilde's text does not go into detail regarding the piece, this image is a stand in for the type of piece that could be in Dorian's attic.

Title
A name given to the resource
Florentine Cabinet
Description
An account of the resource
<p>This piece seems to appear or be noted in the text after Dorian's corruption and the portrait changes and his"corrupted" figure/lifestyle emerges. After murdering Basil, Dorian burns his body in the library and turns to the cabinet for comfort. This is where he keeps his opium container, inside a hidden "triangular drawer" (Wilde 174). The secrecy of the cabinet calls to mind the "secret psychological life" that appear linked in wardrobes, desks, and chests in Bachelard's <em>Poetics of Space (78). </em>Dorian's cabinet is placed between the library's two windows, signifiers of the outside world, and is made of ebony, and "inlaid with ivory and blue lapis" (Wilde 174) indicating an Oriental style despite its Italian background. The piece has the ability, in Dorian's eyes, to "fascinate and make afraid" (Wilde 174).<br />---<br />Though the Victoria and Albert Museum did not have the original cabinet itself on display (from Gore House in London), this photograph taken in 1853 by Charles Thurston Thompson depicts an Italian cabinet with "pietra dura" (Italian cabinet in pietra). The cabinet has elaborate designs carved in wood with metal details, in tiny pictures of what appear to be landscape scenes. The photograph contains some text, describing a "Cabinet or coffer, in pietra dura. Italian, date about 1650." According to <a href="https://www.britannica.com/topic/pietra-dura">Britannica.com</a>, pietra dura or "hard stone" in Italian, is a type of mosiac art that "flourished in the late 16th and 17th centuries," using cut shapes of colored stone that was favored in creating tables and small wall panels.</p>

Title
A name given to the resource
Chinese box
Description
An account of the resource
This box is hidden inside the triangular compartment of the Florentine cabinet. It is intensely detailed, black in color with "gold-dust lacquer, elaborately wrought, the sides patterned with curved waves, and the silken cords hung with round crystals and tasseled in plaited metal threads" (Wilde 174-75). Though the item is small, its beauty in detail and effects on Dorian mark its importance in the text. It contains a "green paste waxy in lustre" with a smell that is "curiously heavy and persistent" (Wilde 175), heavily implying that the box is used to keep Dorian's opium or hashish. This connection between the box and China furthers the Orientalist decor in Dorian's library.
----
The Qing dynasty box in the image is, admittedly, not the same color scheme as the box in Wilde's text. However, its elaborate carvings seem to represent a similar pattern to Dorian's box, and its description as a late 18th-early 19th century treasure box could align with Dorian's box (Box with Landscape Scenes). The box's lacquer is carved with details like bats and the Buddhist "Eight Treasures," meant to represent success and longevity (Box with Landscape Scenes). Dorian's box seems to represent moral decline and addiction in the novel.

Title
A name given to the resource
Italian cassone
Description
An account of the resource
In the school room space, Dorian recognizes this piece of furniture as something he would hide himself inside as a child (a literal type of closeting in the text). It is described as having "fantastically painted panels" with "tarnished gilt mouldings" (Wilde 118) suggesting that it is fairly old and disused. Like much of Dorian's attic room furniture the piece seems to be more Renaissance or Gothic in style.
----
The Met attributes this cassone to the workshop of mid 15th century Florentine artist Apollonio di Giovanni di Tomaso. It is described as being made of poplar wood, linen, polychromed and gilded gesso, and panels painted in tempera and gold. Though this may not be the exact piece referenced in Wilde's text, the painting and gilding of the piece are similar to what Dorian keeps in his schoolroom.

Title
A name given to the resource
Brazier
Description
An account of the resource
In the text, the brazier is pierced and made of copper. Dorian uses the brazier to perform a sort of mind clearing cleanse after burning Basil's clothing and bag, lighting "Algerian pastilles" in the brazier (Wilde 174). This sort of object is tied to Turkish culture, which extends the "far East" metaphor Dorian's library begins to convey in its secret Florentine cabinet and opium box.
---
The image of depicts the base of an iron purification brazier, perhaps like the one Dorian uses in the text. It is inlaid with gold and silver, dates from the 15th-17th century, and originates from Tibet (not Turkey). According to the Met website, it was used for sacrificial burnings and purification rights. Though Dorian's brazier could be more like a hookah, in the text, it seems to serve a similar function as a purification vessel might—the object acts as a means for Dorian to cleanse himself after disposing of Basil's body.

Title
A name given to the resource
Dorian Gray's Schoolroom (Grosvenor Apartment, London)
Subject
The topic of the resource
This is one of the more fascinating spaces in the novel. Dorian's old school room was originally set in place by his grandfather, and its function changes from "play-room" to a "study" in the boy's youth according to the text (Wilde 117). I add that schoolroom becomes an area for Dorian to further conceal his sexuality, a separate space from the rest of the home with a decidedly antiquated decor. This is where Dorian locks away his picture and where he kills Basil Hallward.

Title
A name given to the resource
Venetian coverlet
Description
An account of the resource
Dorian uses this piece to conceal his portrait in the novel. The piece is satin, purple with gold embroidery according to the text (Wilde 115), and was found by Dorian's grandfather in a convent near Bologna. When Dorian chooses to use the tapestry as a coverlet for his shameful portrait (an image linked to masked homosexuality in the text) he compares the coverlet to "a pall for the dead" (115).
---
While this piece is photographed in black and white and there are little details regarding its specific details other than that it is silk and velvet, it serves as an interesting visual supplement to what Dorian's coverlet may have looked like.

Sèvres China Tray
Description
An account of the resource
Though not the traditional "blue and white china" associated with Wilde and the larger Aesthetic movement, this tray is described as "old" in the text (Wilde 91). It is brought to Dorian's room with letters and tea by his valet.
----
This tea tray in the image was manufactured by Sèvres in the mid-eighteenth century. Perhaps one like it was the inspiration for Dorian's tray in the novel. According to the Victoria and Albert Museum database, this collection piece is
made of "soft-paste porcelain, painted in enamels and gilt," depicting a floral pattern.

Title
A name given to the resource
Blue Dragon Bowl
Description
An account of the resource
Filled with "sulphur-yellow roses" in the text (Wilde 92). This piece seems to be one of the more aesthetic pieces in Dorian's home. It seems to correspond with aestheticism's interest in Eastern art and design, blue and white porcelain, and yellow color (though the flowers are not sunflowers, the roses are a proper color for an aesthete).
-----
The Victoria and Albert Museum database describes the dragon bowl in the image as porcelain, "painted in underglaze blue with four panels containing alternately a dragon chasing a pearl and a phoenix among clouds; on the bottom inside a phoenix among clouds in a four-lobed medallion." This piece is perhaps a match for what Dorian's bowl would have looked like, as it matches the color criteria and was made in Jingdezhen, China.
