Servant's Bell Boards✨️

While I try to have a minute's peace (uni is KILLING me) I thought about how hard it is to get decent historical cc for the downstairs part of my builds (you know, servant's areas). I was trying to make a bell board with actual bells like the ones seen in Downton Abbey when I suddenly came up with an idea.

Bell board at Highclere Castle.

This is an edwardian electric bell board that uses not only the sound of bells (that are not visible) but a simple mechanism that shows a red dot on the box that corresponds to each room everytime the bell pulls/buttons upstairs are used.

So I created this:

I created my own picture of a bell board from around 1905 based on actual edwardian ones, using the names of each room in my english country state, Finchwick Park. Of course, it does not work and is solely decorative but it was great fun to create!

If you want to add a touch of sophistication to your historical builds, do not hesitate to ask me for a personalised one!

To request one, you'll need to send:

A list of each room and entrance door found on each floor of your build, for example: First floor- Front door, dining room, drawing room, bathroom, etc.

A design you wish to use, from the templates shown in this post.

The Godolphins!

This is something you've asked me a lot, and now that @danjaley has released their new Romanov Pose Pack (and I can take screenshots again), I can finally show you the Godolphins in detail!

(Obsessed with this posepack)

Let's see who's who!

There are 4 groups signaled by letters, these are the Dowager Duchess and the families of her 3 daughters. The daughters' letters are in order of age. Let's see!

1a: The Hon. Lady Marjorie Alexandra Godolphin, Duchess of Southport.

2a: The Hon. Lord Esmond Nicholas Godolphin, XIVth Duke of Southport

3a: The Hon. Lord William III Evelyn Godolphin, XVIth Marquess of Portborough.

1b: the Hon. Lady Diana Wilhemina Stanhope (née Godolphin) Countess of Mexborough.

2b: The Hon. Lord Cecil Alexander Stanhope, XIth Earl of Mexborough

3b: The Hon. Lord Colin Saint George Stanhope, Viscount Yeoville.

1c: The Hon. Lady Elizabeth Winifred Harmsworth (née Godolphin) Marchioness of Rothermere

2c: The Hon. Lord Vere Sidney Tudor Harmsworth, Marquess of Rothermere.

3c: The Hon. Lord Vere Esmond William Harmsworth, Viscount Daylesford.

4c: The Hon. Lady Winifred Victoria Harmsworth.

D: The Hon. Lady Marjorie Millicent Godolphin (née Dallas-Yorke) Dowager Duchess of Southport (and older sister to Winifred Cavendish-Bentick [née Dallas-Yorke] Duchess of Portland)

The eldest sons of each marriage have what's called a "courtesy title", except for William, who as the eldest son of a Duke, receives his father's subsidiary title, Marquess. The son's subsidiary title is Viscount, followed by the place where their parent's ancestral home is. Lady Winifred, is just a Hon. Lady, a courtesy address only the children of the highest ranking peers (in the order of precedence) receives.

The setting is the Red Saloon at Finchwick Park, the Godolphin's ancestral home.

Pretty much every piece of clothing was masterfully converted from ts4 by @joojconverts most hairs are either from TS3, TS3 Store, @carversims or from Buckley's Disentangled Set Part 1 . The shoes are all from TS3 Store or the Supernatural pack.

The backround is decorated with Unreleased paintings and Rug, but I assure you, you'll get them eventually! Excuse the shoes sinking on the floor, There's a resizing OMSP under the rug haha. In the backround we see 3 portraits, over the mantelpiece hangs the portrait of the Godolphin sisters when bachelorettes, masterfully executed by John Singer Sargent in 1905 (the portrait is originally Sargent's Acheson sisters)

Hope you enjoy this as much as I've enjoyed making this lol.

XVIIth-XIXth Century rugs from the Manufactures of la Savonnerie and Aubusson (and Axminster!)

Part II

A retexture by La Comtesse Zouboff — Original Mesh by @thejim07

These rugs were created by either La Savonnerie or Aubusson manufactures, two prominent and luxurious rugs, upholstery and tapestry manufactures stablished in france during the Ancien Régime.

The set contains 18 swatches in many styles, ranging from Louis XIV to Edwardian, in 2 sizes (5x7 and 4x6) and of course none of then are castable.

This time, I added a small gift to make up for the delay, it's a rug woven by Axminster for the Saloon at Saltram House in Plymouth, England! (1st picture, first rug from left to right)

Found under Decor > Rugs for 3.200§ (4x6) and 4.360§ (5x7)

Conversions

I've received a lot of questions about allowing conversions of my cc so:

remember the meshes and frame textures are not mine, they belong to @thejim07 , the only thing I did was change the painting and description (with his permission oc) the same applies to rugs

As far as I know, Jim allows conversions of his cc

I don't mind conversions, as a matter of fact, I encourage them.

Regarding patterns, some of them were drawn by me, so pls remember to credit me.

Regarding converting objects myself, I'm sorry but I really suck at it, I tried once and almost corrupt my game, but I can recommend creators if you're looking for an specific creator, style, etc.

So yes! feel free to convert my paintings and patterns! I'd love to see how they look in other games!

The Windsor Beauties Set

A retexture by La Comtesse Zouboff — Original Mesh by @thejim07

The Windsor Beauties are a set of portrait paintings, still in the Royal Collection, by Sir Peter Lely and his workshop, produced in the early to mid-1660s, that depict ladies of the court of King Charles II, some of whom were his mistresses. The name stems from the location of the collection, which was at Windsor Castle.

Originally commissioned by Anne Hyde, Duchess of York, the first mention of the paintings is by Samuel Pepys, describing them in his diary as being hung in "the Duke of York's room" in 1668. A 1674 inventory lists them as in the ducal rooms at St. James Palace and by 1688 they had moved to the "Princess's dressing room" at Windsor Castle. Moved to the castle's state rooms during the 18th century, the Windsor Beauties were transferred to Hampton Court at some time prior to 1835.

They are considered the pinnacle of restoration art and are regarded as one of Lely's most exquisite work.

The set includes 13 portraits, with the original frame swatches, fully recolorable. The portraits are of:

Anne Digby, Countess of Sunderland

Anne Hyde, Duchess of York and Albany

Barbara Palmer, Ist Duchess of Cleveland and Countess of Castlemaine as Minerva

Barbara Palmer, Ist Duchess of Cleveland and Countess of Castlemaine as St. Catherine of Alexandria.

Elizabeth Bagot, Countess of Falmouth

Elizabeth Hamilton, Countess de Gramont as Saint Catherine

Elizabeth Wriothesley, Countess of Northumberland

Frances Theresa Stewart, duchess of Richmond and Lennox

Henrietta Anne of England, Duchess of Orléans

Henrietta Hyde, Countess of Rochester

Jane Needham, Lady Middleton

Margaret Brooke, Lady Denham

The Honourable Frances Brook, Lady Whitmore

The Progress of Love Set

A retexture by La Comtesse Zouboff — Original Mesh by @thejim07

First of all, I'm terribly sorry for the lack of content lately, I've had some major issues and now my computer is not available to me, since it's being repaired, but in the meantime, enjoy this little rococo set!

The history of these paintings-one of the most powerful evocations of love in the history of art-is linked with the career of Jeanne Bécu, Countess du Barry the last mistress of Louis XV. For a pleasure pavilion in Louveciennes she commissioned from the architect Claude-Nicolas Ledoux in 1771, the countess ordered from Fragonard four canvases depicting "the four ages of love." The series advances in the following order: from a flirtatious proposal (the pursuit), to a furtive meeting (the lover scales the wall of a garden), to consummation or marriage (the girl crowns her lover with roses), to the calm enjoyment of a happy union (the reading of love letters). Yet, for all their beauty and passion, Madame du Barry soon returned the canvases to the artist and ordered replacements from another. Were the resemblances between the red-coated lover and Louis XV potentially embarrassing? Did the exuberant canvases seem a little old-fashioned amid the cool neoclassicism of Ledoux's avant- garde pavilion? For whatever reason, Fragonard was left holding on to his creations for another twenty years. Then, adding seven more canvases, (although the original series contains five canvases) he installed the series in a cousin's villa in southern France. They passed through the collection of J. P. Morgan, where they were displayed in his London house. They were acquired by Frick in 1915 and installed in a room specially designed for them where they remain to this day.

-------------------------------------------------------

This set contains 5 paintings with the original frame swatches, fully recolourable. They are:

The Progress of Love: The Pursuit.

The Progress of Love: The Meeting.

The Progress of Love: The Lover Crowned.

The Progress of Love: The Declaration of Love.

The Progress of Love: Reverie.

The Wertheimer Portraits

A retexture by La Comtesse Zouboff — Original Mesh by @thejim07

The Wertheimer portraits are a series of twelve portrait paintings made by John Singer Sargent of and for the British art dealer Asher Wertheimer and his family. The series amounts to Sargent's largest private commission.

The family became close friends of the artist John Singer Sargent. He often dined at their home at 8 Connaught Place, where the dining room (sometimes described as "Sargent's mess" ) was decorated with eight of the family portraits. Mr and Mrs Wertheimer commissioned Singer Sargent to paint two portraits to celebrate their 25th wedding anniversary in 1898, and ten more commissions followed in the next decade. Most of the portraits hang in the Tate Museum in London, after Wertheimer's death in 1918. The donation was an scandal, as some antisemitic comments emerged, such as that of the historian Sir Charles Oman: "these clever, but extremely repulsive, pictures should be placed in a special chamber of horrors".

The bequest and wish for the portraits to be displayed together was seen as a distasteful display of wealth with opponents claiming it was Jewish excess and asking “Is there any other gallery that has been given so many paintings? 

Since the paintings would hang among royalty, clergy and historical figures, to have a room dedicated to one family deemed outside the British establishment was so controversial that it was debated in Parliament.

Nowadays, the portraits are regarded as masterpieces, and most of the antisemitic comments remained in the past, but some critics have thought that the paintings "exudes caricature-like features and projected racial stereotypes onto the sitters" although the family was perfectly happy with them (of course this wouldn't have been issue if the family belonged to catholicism or other western-predominant religion)

This set contains 12 portraits, with the original frame swatches, fully recolourable. They are of:

Elizabeth "Betty" Wertheimer, Mrs. Euston Abraham Salaman (oval shape)

La Galerie des Cotelles Set

A retexture by La Comtesse Zouboff — Original Mesh by @thejim07

At the very moment when Louis XIV wrote the first version of 《Manière de montre les jardins de Versailles》, he expressed his desire to recreate his words as images.

In 1688, he comissioned an outstanding set of 24 paintings describing the different groves in gardens with mythological allegories to be placed in the galerie at the Trianon de Marbre.

The ornamentation of the gallery linking Trianon to Trianon-sous-bois was entrusted to three painters between 1688 and 1689: Jean Cotelle painted twenty-one of the twenty-four canvases hung in this room, Etienne Allegrain two others, and Jean-Baptiste Martin.

This gallery, decorated around 1690, bears the name of the author of most of the paintings which appear there and which represent views of the groves of Versailles and Trianon, embellished with mythological figures.

This set remained in place until the First Empire. Napoleon I considered replacing them with paintings to his glory. The works will return to their original location in 1913 after being restored to 《La Colection Royale》 by Louis Philippe and can be seen there to this day.
