The Royal Pavilion was built as a seaside retreat for George, Prince of Wales, from 1811 Prince Regent. It is built in the Indo-Saracenic style prevalent in India for most of the 19th century, with the most extravagant chinoiserie interiors ever executed in the British Isles. John Nash redesigned and greatly extended the Pavilion, and it is the work of Nash which can be seen today. The interiors are primarily by Frederick Crace and the little-known decorative painter Robert Jones.
