Babylonian Ishtar Gate – Palace Interiors

As part of a new series we are trying out here on the SOS blog, I will be taking you through history.

We’ll look at interior design elements in the kingdoms (and their palaces) of the past.

a guide to learning from historical interior design

 

Today’s trip through time will take us back, some 2,500 years back, to the neo-Babylonian empire.

And you can also see how a modern firm applies the ancient style.
