OLIVER BURNS
GEORGIAN TOWNHOUSE
~ Traditional grandeur & timeless opulence ~
True to our beginnings, we worked closely with English Heritage to retain the remaining original
architectural features within this elegant 18th century townhouse. Together we reinstated period
details such as a graceful archway, fireplaces and delicate gilding so beloved of the Georgian period.
Sourcing pieces of exceptional quality, we juxtaposed a statement Art Nouveau Lalique console with
antique mirrors against the stunning background palette of black, beige and gold in the perfectly
proportioned entrance hall. Beautiful fabrics such as the Kediri silk encasing the Chesterfield sofas
in the drawing room continue the traditional and contemporary theme. A subtle, harmonious colour
scheme provides visual continuity throughout.
In the kitchen we introduced a sleek interplay of textures; high gloss, marble and wood, combined with
state-of-the-art appliances and illuminated by a striking chandelier.
We designed the three bedroom suites to each have a distinctive character. From the regal master
bedroom, with its four-poster bed and Louis XVI-style bedside tables, to the feminine sophistication
of the second bedroom with lacquered Birds-Eye maple wardrobes, and the clean lines of the third
suite. Everything is created to marry comfort and elegance.
The distinctive character of the design within remains true to the building’s quintessential British
heritage, updated to meet the requirements of 21st century living.
ENTRANCE HALL
An Italian made Lalique Cactus console table in black and clear
crystal sets an opulent tone in the entrance of this Georgian treasure.
