Relaxed, inviting, deeply comfortable and entirely personal, their pioneering approach – effortlessly mixing old with new, luxurious with humble – is today interpreted by a team of six decorators, who are as practised at creating 21st century interiors as they are at working on historic buildings.

Ever since its creation for the First Lord and Lady Spencer between 1756 and 1766, Spencer House has been widely admired as one of the most beautiful houses in London, hosting lavish entertainments, welcoming artists, politicians and royalty through its doors and adorning its rooms with magnificent works of art.
In 1985, the lease of Spencer House was purchased by the J. Rothschild group of companies, headed by Jacob, 4th Lord Rothschild, who spearheaded an extensive restoration campaign that returned the house to its former splendour. Among the pieces now on display are several objects original to the house, alongside important loans from institutional art collections.
