Set within the leafy streets of Maida Vale, disguised from view by towering poplars and sat within its own walled garden, this Regency Villa holds within it a panoply of grand high-ceilinged rooms connected by halls bedecked in architectural prints and an elegant cantilever staircase. Entering through an imposing black door you are met by cool blue walls framing a theatrical space where architectural prints and models are styled beside luxurious damask upholstery and expertly amassed tablescapes. This theatricality continues throughout the spaces that follow with the inclusion of large scale plaster busts, fireplaces adorned with objects with a modern Grand Tour influence and a fusion of fine art.

Naturally, the collection which fills these impressive rooms, formed by two aesthetes, both with a stringent and confident taste is always bound to result in an abundance of colour, interest and atmosphere and with a juxtaposition of styles which all point towards the mastering of the art of the arrangement.
