Carton House, County Kildare, Ireland was the ancestral seat of the Earls of Kildare and Dukes of Leinster. It is considered to be the finest Irish example of Georgian-created parkland landscape. The current house was built in 1739 by architect Richard Cassels for 19th Earl of Kildare. The decoration was influenced heavily by Lady Emily, wife of James Fitzgerald, 20th Earl of Kildare, who created the Chinese Room and the Shell Cottage. Further remodelling took place in the 19th century under the 3rd Duke of Leinster. It remained in the family until the 1920s.
