Tipu Sultan (1753 -1799) and his father Haidar Ali (c.1722 - 1782) were the Muslim rulers of Mysore who campaigned against the British in the Anglo-Mysore Wars of the late 18th Century. Their palace at Bangalore took ten years to build and was used as a summer retreat. It was a two-storeyed ornate wooden structure with pillars, arches and balconies flanked by gardens on either side. The eastern and western projecting balconies of the upper floor contained the seat from where Tipu conducted affairs of the state. An inscription on the wooden screen describes the palace as the 'Abode of Happiness'. (Source: British Library Board, online)(Set of two)These works will be shipped unframedNON-EXPORTABLE
