Originally designed by the interior architect Thomas Jeckyll to display Liverpool, England shipping magnate Frederick R. Leyland's extensive collection of Chinese blue-and-white porcelain, the the Peacock Room was radically redecorated, against Leyland's wishes, by James McNeill Whistler in 1876 and 1877. In 1923, the Peacock Room was moved to the Freer Gallery of Art, where it remains on permanent display.
