I was flicking through 'English Style' by Suzanne Slesin and Stafford Cliff the other day, and I was left wondering who created the interior below - the text contains no name, but the owner is described as 'a curator at the V&A'. I was considering if it was the work of Sir Roy Strong - who rarely, if ever, appears books such as these - when suddenly I had one of those light bulb moments and thought of the historian and curator Stephen Calloway, and whose flat I have posted about here. Well, sure enough, a quick comparison of images from the original House & Gardens article and these below revealed furniture and other items in common. It may therefore be safe to assume that these highly sophisticated interiors share the same owner, and is indeed Stephen Calloway. Whoever the owner I find these rooms immensely satisfying. But what of the relationship between both interiors in time?
