For all the limitations of stylistic terms they remain the way we categorise and describe interiors. This talk will look at some of the stylistic traditions that have shaped the English country house from the Middle Ages to the Present day. It will also look at the way in which historic styles have been consciously revived.

We’re delighted to announce our third series of ‘Salon Wednesdays’, our evening lectures run alongside Historic Decoration on the history of architecture and design. The talks are held in the Saloon of Brunswick House, Vauxhall, and include wine on arrival. Drinks start at 6.30pm with the lecture starting at around 7pm.
