“With a nod to the Bloomsbury group, who covered every surface Charleston’s interiors with pattern and colour, we will examine every surface of the home. We look at hand-painted Chinese wallpaper, which was considered the height of fashion in 18th century England, and thanks to its beauty still enchants. We also travel the world to enjoy the magic of carpets, which can be used so effectively as the foundation of a room, and explore the history of splendid silk dressing gowns.”
