London Interiors from archives of country life
Many of London’s historic houses and even greater numbers of domestic interiors have been lost to us since 1939, as a result of political and social changes, war and a tradition of continual rebuilding
A collection of photographs from the archives of the magazine Country Life, which form a remarkable and evocative record of houses as they were in a past that now seems almost impossibly remote - the era of the great political hostesses in their Park Lane Mansions, of society beauties in smart Art Deco flats and painters at work in Holland Park.
