Here is a link to a short film about  a 12-panel lacquer screen which Harris Lindsay sold to the Peabody Essex Museum. This screen was made for Sir John Eccleston of the East India Company.

We are delighted to have in our collection four works by the contemporary ceramicist Charlotte Hodes, winner of the Jerwood prize for drawing and the first Associate Artist at the Wallace Collection . Taking the arts of 18th century France, Hodes has produced the most beautiful works of art which are wholly contemporary yet intrinsically connected to the past. They are on display in our gallery in Jermyn St. in the largest known piece of furniture by the 19th century designer Owen Jones- a cabinet made for 16 Carlton House Terrace in the 1870s.

Charlotte is a Reader in Fine Art in the London College of Fine Art.

Rosie Millard in  the Telegraph extolls the virtue of investing in contemporary classic designs with the view that they will become the antiques of the future and she then also quotes Patrick van der Vorst, former director of Sotheby’s and founder of valuemystuff.com : 'Eighteenth-century furniture is also a good bet, particularly classic English “brown” pieces. “Sideboards, walnut chests of drawers and small dining tables are not fashionable to the young eye today, as the minimalist look has taken over interiors,” says van der Vorst. “Actually I think antique notes in an antique room look great.”
