Colefax & Fowler is the oldest operating interior design firm in Great Britain, and a foundation of quintessential English country house style from the time Sibyl Colefax and John Fowler opened their doors in the 1930s. The American socialite Nancy Lancaster continued the legacy in the 1940s, and ever since, the beloved textiles, wallpaper and custom furniture have been gracing the estates and homes of royals, bohemians and anyone else craving their signature high end English whimsy. This pair of painted fretwork armchairs features their perfected meld of styles- the old and the new, luxurious with cozy. The layered visual textures and a keen attention to detail create a classic piece with lived-in charm.
