Before Gatsby: the Wildest Parties of the 1900′s
Tumblr media
Contrary to what the popular imagination and Julian Fellowes tell us, the upper-class entertainment in the Edwardian era wasn’t all staid dinner parties and debutante balls. If Horrible Histories are ever going to have a book dedicated to this specific decade, I wish they would name it The Extra Edwardians. I couldn’t  incorporate all this info into my own f/f Edwardian WIP, so I’d be very glad to share it with you.
If you are a histfic writer looking to spice up your WIP, your characters can take the cues from:
- Marchesa Casati. A daughter of a fabulously wealthy Italian industrialist and a wife of an equally fabulously wealthy Marquis, she lived in Venice, where she could be glimpsed down the Grand Canal under a parasol of peacock feathers, and was dubbed ‘a sun-goddess’ by her contemporaries. When the cloudy sky dared to threaten her party’s Aesthetic, she strung up an artificial moon that actually moved against the sky. She also kept a whole menagerie of pumas and leopards, and commissioned satin-lined boxes from her jewellers so that she could travel with her snakes. She had one particular snake with a golden hue wrapped around her neck sometimes and tricked some guests into thinking it a necklace... until it started to move. Her iconic Look consisted of whitened face, black-lined eyes, and auburn-dyed hair piled high. Think David Bowie meets Queen Elizabeth. 
- George Kessler. He made his fortune in the Gilded Age New York as American agent for Moët & Chandon, and spent it rather creatively. His Gondola Party in 1905 could give anything conceived in the Roaring Twenties a run for its money. At first, he wanted to hire a dirigible to perch atop the roof of the Savoy Hotel (as one does) and have his guests dine while floating several hundred feet above the city. After the Savoy objected for some reason, Kessler spent $15,000 to Venice-ize the hotel’s ballroom and courtyard instead. The courtyard was flooded to create a lagoon, and live goldfish, swans, and ducks were let into the water. 120 electricians wired tiny electric lights into the ceiling to create the effect of a starlit sky. 80 guests dined aboard a giant gilded gondola, served by waiters dressed as gondoliers, while Enrico Caruso serenaded them. To mark the end of the evening, a baby elephant called Jumbo Junior was led in. He was carrying on his back an enormous cake.
(His comparatively more modest party included transforming the same hotel’s winter garden into the vision of a North Pole, creating ‘snowdrifts’ out of silver tissue and hiring an army of dwarves dressed as snowmen to be the waiters)
- Anyone swept by the Ballets Russes craze of 1911. The fashionable London hostesses were lucky that Anna Pavlova was so petite, or else they would not have been able to fit her into those large baskets of roses they had her carried into their drawing rooms in to perform at their parties. 
- The Savoy Ball. This fancy dress ball offered 250 guineas and a four-hundred-stone diamond and gold pendant as a prize for the best costume in 1913. The competition was stiff: there was Earl of Shrewsbury as an Apache Indian with full feather headdress and a knife, Princess Kawananako of Honolulu in a cape of yellow feathers worn over a black dress (forming, together, the colours of the Honolulu flag), and Jennie Cornwallis-West, a.k.a. Churchill’s mother, as Empress Theodora in an embroidered Byzantine cape, not to mention the countless Pompadours and medieval princesses. Anna Pavolva ended up being a runner-up, getting a 60 guinea-worth beauty case for her native Russian costume. 
- Lady Michelham. Her approach was more elegant than over-the-top, but still:  one course at her dinner partly was made to resemble a lighthouses, surrounded by ortolans representing seagulls, with surf made of white sauce. Also, those handwritten menus inscribed on the surface of water-lily leaves were nice.
- Hector Baltazzi. He was so exhiliarated by winning the Derby once that he had his chef float a pearl in every plate of watercress soup served at the celebratory dinner party.

‘ Le cabinet de garde-robe de Louis XVI
The Clothes Cabinet was made on the eve of the French Revolution and is the last masterpiece created in Versailles. It was one of the few large-scale modifications to the Private Apartments by Louis XVI and is exceptionally fine, with its carved wooden panelling and cornice. The task of creating this decor was entrusted to the skilled hands of the sculptors and brothers Jean Siméon and Jean Hugues Rousseau, whose final work for the Palace was also one of their greatest. This gilded sculptural decoration contains references to all the main fields of government including trade, farming, the navy, war, sciences and the arts. Nothing is without importance in the iconographic design of this room, which more closely resembles an Italian Renaissance “studiolo” than a room of such practical use as a clothes cabinet. It was, in fact, a place for working, a sort of very private cabinet. Louis XVI’s serious and diligent personality is brought to light in the decor here, which is far removed from the superficial, even conventional, themes in the decoration made for his predecessor. The colour theme consists in harmonious white and gold tones, as was common in the 18th century. The elements of moulding and the carved sections have all been gilded using water gilding, and stand out against the white glue-size paint.
The room was restored in 2009 thanks to support by Lady Michelham of Hellingly through the Société des Amis de Versailles’
