Samuel Lewis recorded the house as a modern castellated mansion beautifully situated on the acclivity of a hill. The Pugh family lived at Llanerchydol from 1776 when David Pugh Senior a local man who made his fortune selling tea in London purchased the site and built a new house to replace the Tudor house that burnt down. A succession of the Pughs lived at the hall until 1912 when the estate was split up, the house was purchased by the Verdon`s who lived at the Hall until 1985 when the property was sold in a state of decay; however recent owners have now reinstated the Hall to its former Gothic revival grandeur.

In the late eighteenth century John Sargent Curtis (a relative of the well-known painter John Singer Sargent) bought one of the two adjoining Barbaro palaces on the Grand Canal in Venice. The Curtis` s restoration of the Palazzo Barbaro provided a haven for an artistic community as vibrant and colourful as the palazzos might have seen in the time of the Italian Renaissance. Curtis and his wife played host to famous and glamorous writers, artists and musicians such as Henry James, Whistler and Claude Monet. In the early nineteenth century this North Italian sleigh bed was sold by John Curtis to John Singer Sargent`s friend, the acclaimed English hostess, Mrs. Hunter, in whose house the Novelist Edith Wharton and French actress Rejane argued over who would sleep in the room in which this bed was kept. Set in the headboard and the foot of the bed are highly decorative scenes of cupids and mythological classical gods. Northern Italian lions interlaced with vines proudly circle dancing lovers and sleeping damsels. Two highly ornamental Egyptian swans stretch their necks down the bed posts as if to guard those sleeping in the bed
