There were very few architects, almost exclusively his collaborators and students, who escaped from the shadow of Inigo Jones, the great innovator. Among these were Isaac de Caus (c. 1590-c.1655), who, according to recent findings, designed Wilton House. The harmoniously proportioned façade is broad and flanked by high corner pavilions, with a window decorated in venetian style accentuating the central section.
The interior is dominated by a cube and a double cube, two box-shaped reception rooms furnished with the utmost elegance.
The picture shows a view of the interior of the "Double Cube."
