Art & Antiques Fair

n the heart of the South Coast’s Lymington lies a surprising Aladdin‘s cave brimming with astonishing 18th and 19th century antique furniture, decorative arts, and maritime effects. Wick Antiques is a hidden world of elaborate marquetry, ornate ormolu, deep-buttoned chesterfields and rare globes. Charles Wallrock has been buying and selling for more than three decades to private collectors and the trade worldwide, as well as being the main supplier to the Harrods Antique Furniture Department for more than 20 years before its closure. Antiques are in Charles’s blood. His grandfather, owned an auction house in the early 1900’s, that site is now Bonham’s of Bond Street. “My grandfather was one of the first men to introduce a tea room into the auction house because he realised that it was the ladies who made the buying decisions.” says Charles.

He started at 22, spending long days on the road. A typical week would be Monday and Tuesday travelling the West Country ferreting out the best he could afford. Then he would sell on the Wednesday to local dealers who in turn would trade the stock to the ever hungry Americans and Australians. The second half of the week he would head the Midlands and the North and repeat the process. The closure of the Harrods department a couple of years ago has freed up time to fuel his passion for the ocean and collecting all things nautical, whilst his obsession with buying the best pieces of furniture on the market still continues. So if are looking for rare globes, pairs of canon, exceptional furniture or to seek the unique, make Wick Antiques your destination. Wick Antiques www.wickantiques.co.uk | Stand C11

HAUTE COUTURE BEAUTY Fashion has made our living spaces more glamorous says Mari Paulina

n the last few years we have seen the trend which links the world of interior design with the world of high fashion has grown stronger. The objects we surround ourselves with have become more sophisticated and glamorous, so evidently haute couture inspired and connected to the precious apparels that we admire on the fashion catwalks. In the last two decades fashion houses have successfully started their own interior design collections - Ralph Lauren, Fendi, Armani Casa and Kenzo to name but a few. Thanks to these we now find in our living spaces objects and accessories which were earlier only used for evening wear. Swarovski crystals, mother of pearl inlays, designer logos and signature shapes are intertwined on sofas, cabinets and chairs. Elaborate lines used to create garments and materials, designer handbags or skirts can now be found in beautifully shaped lamp shades or details on upholstered pieces. Collectable jewellery has also become an inspiration to high-end designers. Thanks to this ongoing trend, we can spot real jewels in our homes. Fantastic beaded tassels made by hand from colourful feathers, amazing cabinet handles made of gemstones and semi-precious metals with incredible care, cushions and throws made of silk velvets and embroidered with crystals, pearls, combined with leather and fur. Curtains can be statement pieces on their own, like those designed by Ulf Moritz, which hang in simple panels bringing so much modern charisma that they don’t need any draping. The lighting world also takes us into entirely different dimensions. Light is magical anyway and allows for creating unique and most sophisticated moods in any space, not only inside but also in open spaces. Nowadays lamps are not only 54

Bridge for Design May 2015

sources of light necessary for us to move around comfortably in the darkness but have become a focal point of our living spaces. Fantastic, colourful, sculpture like lamp bases help add character and interest to spaces we live in. Elaborate chandeliers and ceiling or wall lights, often made of hundreds of pieces like crystal silhouettes, ceramic butterflies or flowers bring magic to our homes and other spaces. All those tiny details when washed with warm streams of light give an impression of magnificent sparkling waterfalls or galaxies that all of a sudden arrived from another dimension and landed in our homes to make our lives more beautiful. Enchanted as we may be with the beauty of those furniture and lighting jewels we have to take care not to get too carried away as they need to be used with restrain and care. Much in the same way as an elegant outfit needs the right balance and the rule ‘less is more’ also applies to living spaces. We must be careful of the number of elaborate items we choose, to keep an area in harmony, a smaller number of more elaborate items should be the way to go depending of course on the style indicated for the space. Items cannot fight for space in a home but must enhance one another. It is important to keep the right mix of pieces that create drama and interest with those that create their background for the most pleasing aesthetical effect.

ART MAKES AN INTERIOR Sometimes challenging, it should always make a statement says Shalini Misra

or some people, putting art into their interiors is a purely decorative decision. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;If itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the right colour and the right size - buy it.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; For me this misses the point entirely. Incorporating art into interiors is about creating constant delights for the eye, defining spaces, establishing focus points - and bringing interiors to life; sometimes in a

challenging way. Art should provide elements of beauty and wonder, and it should always be a personal statement. When I buy for new clients, I have to build up an understanding of their taste. If they are buying on their own, I advise them only to choose pieces which really speak to them. The art market is fickle and trying to predict which pieces might make the best investments is very hard. So whether a piece is sourced from an antique shop, a small gallery, a craft workshop, a dealer or an international auction house it has to be loved by the client. Then and only then, does it become a worthwhile element of the scheme. But of course, the word art is a broad term: in my work, it embraces so many things; from a sculpture by an unknown name fresh from art school, to a Danny Lane glass table or 64

Bridge for Design May 2015

an old master painting. Art can also be a video installation, a handmade wallpaper or a unique set of window screens commissioned from a craftsman in Paris or New Delhi. It can be fine art or it can be simple, artisanal works. It can be something to gaze at or something practical to use every day. I may not always like pieces which my clients have previously acquired. They may have strong attachments to objects which I, would never buy. But I am not there to superimpose my personal taste over theirs. Within the design, I always create specific positions and viewing points for important pieces so that they command the attention due to them. Often this involves tailoring specific niches, shelves or floorspace into the plan and, of course, lighting them to dramatic advantage. Wherever I travel, I make time to visit galleries and ateliers, adding to my personal directory of artists and craftspeople. This means that when I am advising clients about starting or adding to an art collection, I can show them a wide and eclectic range of ideas, styles, concepts and outcomes. As an interior designer, time invested in building a network of art-related resources pays real dividends in making your creative voice stand out in the crowd.

MAISON&OBJET, the world’s premier luxury home trade show, has selected Zanini de Zanine from Brazil as the first Designer of the Year for the launch of MAISON&OBJET AMERICAS in Miami Beach May 12-15, 2015. Announced at an event held during Art Basel at the New World Center in Miami Beach, Philippe Brocart, the Managing Director of Safi - which owns and operates MAISON&OBJET- explained the selection. “For this inaugural session of MAISON&OBJET AMERICAS, our hope was to name a Designer of the Year from South America in order to position our event as a true market platform for all of the Americas. As an international fair, we also sought someone with global recognition and with a multinational body of work, which is clearly the case for Zanini de Zanine who has collaborated with several iconic European brands. His

diversity of product, from big brands to his studio dedicated to creating gallery and auction house pieces, was also a factor. As the next generation of designers become increasingly more versatile and multidisciplinary, Zanini represents the exemplary balance between mass production and limited edition craftsmanship.” Joining the ranks of such vaulted previous winners such as Zaha Hadid, Patricia Urquiola, Philippe Starck, Paola Navone, and so many others, Zanini de Zanine embodies the balance of artistry and commercial design, local and international appeal, and the devotion to excellence that MAISON&OBJET has come to represent. As the first ambassador for MAISON&OBJET AMERICAS. Zanini de Zanine will be giving a keynote address at the fair, to be held at the Miami Beach Convention Center May 12-15, 2015.

One of the best-loved events in the design industry calendar, Clerkenwell Design Week is a three-day annual festival gathering Clerkenwell’s long-established design community together. Now in its sixth year, the event has increasingly become a must go-to showcase for the UK and international design community. The name Clerkenwell comes from the Clerks’ Well in Farringdon Lane, where London parish clerks performed the famous Medieval Mystery Plays throughout the Middle Ages. Since the Industrial Revolution, the area has housed craft workshops, printers, clockmakers and jewellers. Traditional crafts, such as printing and bookbinding still flourish, as do graphic designers. In the last two decades, Clerkenwell’s unique variety buildings have been transformed into central studio and workshop spaces, attracting an unprecedented concentration of architectural, design and creative practices. The global businesses that have made Clerkenwell their home have shaped the borough into the UK’s most important generator of creativity and innovation. Serving an infinite variety of other industries easily accessible from across London, Clerkenwell has become home to a plethora of new media agencies, graphic and interactive design studios and more than 200 architectural practices - more per square mile than anywhere else on the planet.

DOLORES HALPERN

The English owner of this house has spent five years tweaking the interior details to create an elegant home, filled with antiques WORDS LUCIE YOUNG | PHOTOGRAPHS SIMON UPTON/The Interior Archive

Bridge for Design May 2015

‘

t was the only house our architect didn’t turn up his nose at,’ jokes Dolores Halpern over lunch at Northshire, her upstate New York house, and the former home of Woolworth’s heir Richard W Woolworth. ‘We drove up to see the house one cold February day and I knew from the car I wanted it; I loved the hipped roof and the hand-made Sussex clay tiles and the aged red brick. It was so English.’

In fact the house, built in 1935 by Mott B Schmidt – who also designed homes for the Vanderbilts, the Astors and the Rockefellers – may be modelled after one of England’s most famous manor houses. Architect Dean Telfer, who taught at Columbia University in New York, and who helped remodel the house, believes Northshire is a copy of seventeenth-century Groombridge Place in Kent, designed by Sir Christopher Wren. ‘The houses have very similar proportions; there is a visual intelligence and a carefully studied balance. You can’t add or take anything from it without destroying the effect,’ he says. Unfortunately, somewhere between conception and execution, some of the interior detail at Northshire was skimped on. The resulting shortcomings, are that the house had ‘starved mouldings’, an inferior stair-rail design, a curiously small main bedroom and a kitchen which Dean describes as ‘positively feudal’; no one ever cooked in it for pleasure. It had a bleak little servants’ corridor and a little flower room. After five years of subtle but significant tweaks, Northshire has regained – or rather surpassed – its original grandeur. ‘It’s a lot better now we’ve fixed it,’ says Dean. The additions include a new, early PREVIOUS PAGE: The outdoor swimming pool is graced with a classical poolhouse sheltered by mature hedges and shaded by the trees in the garden LEFT: The triple aspect drawing room has been fitted with new mouldings and a new chimneypiece TOP: The front of the house is approached by a driveway lined in red brick and framed with clipped box hedges Bridge for Design Spring 2015

The oak-panelled library may have been inspired by the Queen’s Closet at Hampton Court Palace, it has windows on two sides and is comfortably furnished

Georgian-style wooden balustrade for the main staircase, an enlarged main bedroom and, throughout, more generous and detailed mouldings. Northshire, which has seven bedrooms arranged over the top two floors, is divided downstairs into two wings, which project on either side of the impressive entrance hall. The left wing contains a library with oak panelling, which Dean thinks was inspired by the Queen’s Closet at Hampton Court Palace, and a vast drawing room with windows on three sides. To the right of the hall is the main dining room – designed around Dolores’s collection of Delft pottery and 17th century Dutch paintings – and at the far end of the house is the newly remodelled kitchen-cum-dining area. ‘You can stand in the breakfast room and see all the way through the kitchen to my study,’ says Dolores. Walls were removed and windows in the kitchen were enlarged to create this light-filled core. In addition, to bring a sense of drama to the kitchen, Dean designed a giant central island that looks like a medieval banqueting table. ‘Most kitchen islands look rather funereal. I wanted a table that looked as though a feast was imminent,’ he says.

Bridge for Design May 2015

In the breakfast room – which is everyone’s favourite room – as throughout the house, Dolores has overseen the furnishings and interior design herself. Sitting centre stage is one of her many antiques, a seventeenth-century English-oak table. ‘You could eat the finish on it, it is so perfect,’ says Dean over lunch. But while she has a passion for fine antiques – other favourite pieces include a Hepplewhite-period chest of drawers, Mohtashanm Kashan and Tabriz rugs, and Ming vases – if something doesn’t quite work, she will find a creative solution. In the dining room, the Elizabethan oak table was deemed too narrow, so a new oakand-slate design was fitted on top – although the original top was also retained. As the mastermind behind the design decisions, Dolores was involved with every aspect of the project. So, when she and Dean disagreed over replacing the wood floor downstairs with reclaimed antique French stone, she insisted it remained unadorned, even though Dean pined for a decorative border. ‘Dolores will always win,’ he says with a devoted smile. ‘I’m simply the observer-in-chief.’

So when Dolores bought a white marble bath, weighing some 235kg, Dean knew better than to protest and simply set about reinforcing the bathroom floor with steel beams. The bath was brought through the window by crane: ‘It was a triumph of willpower,’ he says. One of Dolores’s most inspired ideas for Northshire was to transform the pretty little greenhouse by Lord & Burnham into a pool house. Although the estate already had an outdoor pool, where her husband swims, and a tennis court, Dolores wanted somewhere to swim year-round. The floor of the greenhouse was excavated to accommodate a lap pool, and the potting shed was transformed into a spa-like shower room. The result is quite magical. ‘I can swim at night with candles around me, and the grandchildren love it. I swim all year, even when it snows.

SOPHIE PATERSON A Chelsea townhouse once painted jet black by a rock star gets an uplifting makeover WORDS MARK THOMPSON | PHOTOGRAPHS RAY MAIN

Bridge for Design May 2015

ou might think that a designer on being told by her client that they didn’t want an interior like anything she had designed previously might want to ‘run for the hills’. But not Sophie Paterson, she saw it as a challenge. ‘As a designer it can be quite disconcerting not being able to work with your signature style. There were aspects of previous projects that she liked but not whole rooms and certainly not whole projects – at first I wasn’t sure why she hired me! But I knew immediately even if it would take me a while to immerse myself into her aesthetic that I would enjoy working with her.’

Two years on and after thousands of e-mails in each others inboxes discussing every element of the house the house is finally finished and the pair remain firm friends. The house in question is in the heart of London’s Chelsea and was once owned in the 1970’s by David Bowie who, during the miner’s strike, painted the entire interior jet black to try and understand the conditions experienced by those who worked in the coalmines. Today the five-storey stucco townhouse is a little more uplifting. The imposing hallway with its antique silk rug and oversized chandeliers from Jamb leads to a glamorous kitchen which spans the entire ground floor with a rich palette of high gloss Macassar ebony, Arabescato marble and smoked mirror inspired by the décor in Tom Ford boutiques. LEFT: The client wanted to reuse her leather furniture from Poltrona frau, Sophie added some textile cushions to break up the leather and toned down the yellow in the furniture by adding a taupe rug from the rug company. The geometric cabinets on either side of the fireplace are from Birgit Israel and their bold design balances the previously dominating leather furniture. The walls were covered in a silk wall covering for a touch of luxury and to add another layer of texture in the room. The blinds in their dark taupe silk with black inlaid border coordinate perfectly with the geometric banding on the black lacquer and mirrored cabinets.

To the rear of the kitchen there is a compact conservatory used as a sitting area with a traditional black leather chesterfield and antique Louis Vuitton trunk doubling up as a coffee table, French doors open onto a paved garden with raised flowerbeds. On the lower ground level there is a guest bedroom with en-suite bathroom, a utility room and a TV room lined in taupe suede. The formal living room is on the first floor furnished with antiques and contemporary furniture. The master bedroom takes up the whole of the second floor with a grand four poster bed from Ralph Lauren while the fifth floor houses two guest bedrooms – with one which doubles up as a study – and further stairs to a roof terrace with views across London. The clients, both partners in a law firm, had owned and lived in the house for 18 months prior to instructing Sophie to redesign the interiors. They wanted to fully understand how they wanted to live in the property and the changes they wanted to make. The project was complete refurbishment: reconfiguring the layout, reinstating

TOP: The conservatory area at the end of the kitchen- this previously unused area was made much more comfortable by replacing the previous 1960’s modern conservatory with a traditional wooden framed conservatory more in keeping with the architecture of this Georgian townhouse. Pinoleum blinds shelter the space from the south facing garden and strong sunlight giving a dappled light and airconditioning ensures it doesn’t get too hot in the summer. The leather chesterfield was previously in the client’s living room but fitted just perfectly and works with the masculine design of the kitchen. The antique Louis Vuitton trunk was sourced by Sophie for her client who is now an avid collector. The wall lights with the subtle use of macassar ebony tie in perfectly with the kitchen and the painting was one of the client’s existing pieces that she hadn’t found a home for before the renovation RIGHT: The four poster bed from Ralph Lauren was the client’s starting point for her dream bedroom, Sophie mixed in a combination of antiques such as the rug along with bespoke contemporary pieces such as the leather upholstered wardrobes and leather armchair from poltrona frau, which again was an existing piece that belonged to the client.

An oversized chandelier was installed to emphasize the grand ceiling height and create a dramatic focal point. The faux shagreen wallpaper on the chimney breast zones this area and creates a visual barrier between the preparation area of the kitchen and the dining area of the kitchen. Sophie chose the blue grey colour scheme to complement the clientâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s existing painting of the elephant.

architectural details such as cornices and fireplaces, new bathrooms, kitchen flooring and furnishing throughout. They wanted to have a lot of input themselves and to approve every single detail. The brief they set was that they wanted the house ‘not to look as if it had been interior designed’. They wanted the interiors to reflect their own personal taste and for the furniture to feel like it had been collected over time rather that ordered and installed at once. ‘We clicked from the beginning and had a lot of mutual respect so it was just such a satisfying journey for us to create the perfect home for her together – a unique space that is unlike any other I have ever designed,’ says Sophie. ‘All in all we spent two years creating the home together and didn’t use a single mood board!’

VANESSA McDOWELL Constructed in Cotswold stone this 18th century barn has the feel of a French pigeonnier in the Dordogne TEXT KAREN UPTON | PHOTOGRAPHS TIM BEDDOW/The Interior Archive

eeping inside Vanessa McDowell’s country house in a pretty Cotswold village, you would think that she had lived there for years. But the interior designer and her property consultant husband, Charles, only bought and refurbished the converted barn a few months ago, after a friend tipped them off that the property was for sale.

‘Initially I was unenthusiastic about the idea,’ says Vanessa, ‘and I joked to Charles that only animals live in barns. But he persuaded me to go and have a look, and I fell in love with it at first sight.’ She was as charmed by the property as she was by the stunningly beautiful landscape and dramatic views that surround it. Once smitten, Vanessa wasted no time in arranging a private sale with the owner. ‘It really couldn’t be more perfect for us,’ she explains. ‘It looks like a French pigeonnier in the heart of a French village, and the light that pours in through its windows makes the place feel so warm and welcoming. There is also a separate, smaller barn, which is ideal for when my youngest son, Edward, comes to stay.’ The couple decamped to their London flat while builders and decorators moved in. ‘We were keen to turn it into a space that would fulfil our requirements,’ says Vanessa, who travels the world to undertake work for her clients. ‘It had been skilfully converted by the past owners, but it hadn’t been decorated for twelve years so was in need of a revamp. We thought the project was going to prove to be fairly straightforward, and then my builder called me to say that the drains were backing up,’ Vanessa recalls. ‘It turned out to be that there was a major problem with the drainage system which hadn’t been detected in the survey. Putting it right set us back, and had a big impact on our budget – the stench was also incredible.’

The work to the property, which included converting the second, smaller barn that housed a games room into a self-contained flat, took about four months. In the main house, Vanessa decided to convert the guest rooms on the ground floor into the main bedroom suite. ‘The room has by far the best views in the house,’ she says. ‘On a warm sunny morning, we sit outside eating breakfast and feel as if we’re in the heart of the Dordogne. It’s quite magical.’ Keen to keep the bedroom plain but sophisticated, Vanessa decorated it in neutral shades and subtle pale pinks, adding a few choice antiques. Inspired by the climbing roses that grow outside her bedroom window, she commissioned the Upholstery Studio in London to make a headboard covered in a rose fabric by Pierre Frey. ‘My plan was to bring some of the countryside inside the house,’ she says. As the bedroom leads off a corridor by the back door, Vanessa decided to smarten the area with silk taffeta curtains in taupe and cream and she painted the skirting boards an arresting gunmetal grey. The centrepiece of the barn is a huge double-height galleried hall, which is a wonderful backdrop for part of Charles’s art collection. ‘I really had to think big when I was decorating this room,’ said Vanessa. ‘Because of the ceiling height, I decided to go oversize with everything and the end result, I think, is rather dramatic.’ The hall is mainly used for entertaining, while a cosy living room off to one side of it, or the Gustavian-style kitchen, is where Charles and Vanessa spend most of their time when they are alone. ‘In winter we light the fire in the kitchen, and it’s all warm and cosy here. Either I’ll cook, or when my son William comes to stay – he’s a brilliant chef and worked at The Ivy in London – he’ll whip up fabulous meals.’ Upstairs, the room that had been the main bedroom is now used

It feels right, as it’s a country house after all. I think guests expect it when they come to stay.’ So far, friends, family and clients have all been extremely complimentary of Vanessa’s decorating efforts. ‘Everyone seems to love the house,’ she says. ‘Like me, they can see that our home has a special, welcoming feel.’ The barn is the fifth property Vanessa has renovated for her family, but is it her last? ‘My children aren’t convinced. They know how restless I get. But I feel utter contentment here. It is a standing joke that Charles and I deliberately made the doorways wide enough to fit our wheelchairs; all we’ll have to do then is install a few ramps to adapt this place for old age.’ TOP: The kitchen has been designed in Gustavian style with handmade units from a local craftsman and table and chairs sourced from a nearby antique shop LEFT: In the summer the garden room becomes the dining room, where there is a large table surrounded by pastel-coloured wicker armchairs

our brand Ever since we began in 1800, we have always been made-to-measure. One of our core values is having the ability to bring our clientâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s visions into reality

when we say bespoke we mean bespoke So often with drapery hardware, the word â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;bespokeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; is used but the reality of it largely falls within the limitations of the product range. From design of finial and style of finish, our poles can totally custom made to blend perfectly with proposed or existing schemes. You, as our client, are unique to us and we want to reflect that in our service to you.

THE FINISHES GALLERY

classic antique nickel Like the lovely patina on well worn silver. It carries a beautified dullness about it…all the yesterdays of past centuries are collected within the soft gleam.

023 9225 2525

www.tillysinteriors.com

classic bronze Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s something so antique about this finish, reminiscent of the art sculptures found in galleries around Mayfair, carrying a curious warmth of tone and visual form.

023 9225 2525

www.tillysinteriors.com

classic antique brass Vintage. Look deep into the burnish and see a symphony in a thousand tints of Britain’s heritage, that call out to you in melodic hues from the classic decades of the ‘30s, ‘40s & ‘50s…

classic gunmetal Carrying all the charisma of the old family estate in the heart of Britainâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s countryside. The stables; the butler in the hall; the faithful old hound; irresistible perfumes of rain-washed landscape from the drawing room window. You reach for the teapotâ&#x20AC;Ś

023 9225 2525

www.tillysinteriors.com

blacksmith You can hear the sound of the forge and blacksmithâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hammer, the scrape of horses hoovesâ&#x20AC;Ś.heat & pressure show in the rugged lines of these pieces, formed by good old fashioned hard work.

wrapped poles Quintessential luxury. This is where your drapery hardware can either disappear into the wallcovering behind, or stand out in a complimentary material. This quality concept can be applied in practically any material, as long as it can be wrapped.

bespoke You may have an idea – just a simple sketch you’ve done on the back of an envelope, perhaps. We’re used to this, so send it in, with an indication of your vision and we’ll translate that into a finished article.
