The Queen's House, Greenwich, was commissioned by Anne of Denmark, wife of James I (reigned 1603–25).
Of this original splendour all that survives in the House is the 'grotesque’ style painted ceiling of the Queen’s Presence Chamber, the ironwork of the 'tulip stairs’ (the first centrally unsupported spiral stair in Britain), the much discoloured but original painted woodwork of the Hall, and its finely laid 1635 marble floor.
