The Victorian fountain decorating the Courtyard was originally made in Glasgow England and brought to Singapore in the 1890s, where it was placed at the Telok Ayer Market (now known as Lau Pa Sat). The six-metre ornate cast-iron fountain was later dismantled and forgotten altogether, only to be rediscovered in 1989. After being certified as authentic, it was restored and installed in the Palm Garden of the Raffles Hotel Singapore.

About the Artist - Tay Thain Lin

Tay Thain Lin is a Singaporean artist who passionately indulges in the process of creating artworks as a means of visually communicating and documenting the urban space around him.

This series of Raffles Hotel paintings in his signature “ink and wash” style beautifully captures the essence and exquisite architecture of the grand dame - Raffles Hotel - a prominent landmark and a must-visit for locals and visitors alike.

“I took several trips to Raffles Hotel and walked around the hotel grounds to observe the century old architecture which is also imbibed with modern touches. It is important for me to internalise and ‘feel’ the place before I commence on my paintings”. - Tay Thain Lin
