Tea with Jamb

This is part of a room set from the showroom of Jamb in London. Jamb sells antique and reproduction items, of neo classical pieces, such as this chimneypiece, plinth with marble bust, and marble statuary. For me this is quintessentially my style, including the placement of the pieces, the stark impact of the wall colour, and the unvarnished, new and wide beam floor planks.

Did I mention I liked the neoclassical?

Going to see the collection of antiques requires a detour from the obvious - you enter a warehouse development next to some disused gas works, so not an endeavour best undertaken when it's dark. The complex also houses some other operations selling similar treasures, so an expedition is well worth it. And an expedition it was indeed, as the usually clued-up London cabbie dropped us kinda, sorta near the entrance.

But it was daylight, (and raining). Nothing the good British brolly couldn't cope with in July.
