Watch this film for a behind the scenes look at the conservation of these elaborate chinoiserie pedestals. The pedestals were commissioned by George IV for the Royal Pavilion at Brighton, his extraordinary seaside residence. Following conservation the pedestals went on loan to the Royal Pavilion. This is part of a loan of 120 items of decorative art and furniture from the Royal Collection that will allow the recreation of George IV's original interiors.
