Tudor Ceilings Made of Leather

Hampton Court Palace has two rooms that contain leather ceilings. It’s impossible to tell they are leather without knowing they are. They are beautiful and decorative. One is the Great Watching Chamber (with bright gold lattice work, below), and the other is the Woolsey Closet (the triple lattice in dark blue/black and gold).
