2 AN INTRODUCTION 48 SLOANE SQUARE This Sloane Square property, built in 1904, boasts one of London s best addresses. Today home to many of the world s best fashion houses, this west facing apartment lies at the heart of the unique estate of the Cadogan family and directly overlooks the square bearing the family name of Sir Hans Sloane, notable for bequeathing his collection of natural history and curiosities to the nation paving the way for the foundation of the British Museum.

3 ENTRANCE LOBBY ABUNDANCE OF LIGHT Natural light welcomes you as you walk through the entrance of the apartment. The internal walls are covered in mirrors that, along with the ingenious architectural use of Plaster of Paris moulded cornices and skirting boards, make the space appear to have multiplied in size and volume.

4 DRAWING ROOM ART DECO RELIVED Our mission has been the pursuit of the very best an artist or craftsman can produce. The beautiful panelled walls throughout the room create a sense of warmth that inspires you to stand by the windows and gaze as the world goes by. Exceptionally crafted niches with a brushed brass inlay wraps the grand fireplace. At the push of a button the fire invites you to relax and enjoy the serenity. A secret door which is part of the wall panelling reveals your guest suites. The beautiful parquet flooring in the original herringbone pattern is simply exquisite. The aged oak wood, treated only with natural oils, gives the silkiest feel when walked on barefoot.

5 BLENDED MIX A variety of refined materials have been used and blended together with the greatest attention to detail. From the timber panelling and marble fireplace to the mahogany panelled doors and the splendid brass inlays all features have been cut, fitted and finished by hand using the same techniques employed by craftsmen at the turn of the 19th century. The more you study the details, the more you are drawn by the romance of their story.

6 DINING ROOM MAJESTIC AND BOLD Various monarchs, such as Louis XV of France, gave special favour to chinoiserie, a style of decoration that entered the European repertory in the 17th century. Entire rooms were painted with chinoiserie compositions by renowned artists and others brought expert craftsmanship to the style. The warmth, appeal and feel of the hand made items such as the silk wall covering, the bronze doors and brass chandelier, are the result of the tiny irregularities caused by the human hand striving to achieve perfection. The spirit of the creator is embodied in each and every object.

7 BRONZE DOORS It took in excess of 1,000 hours for an artisan in northern Italy to create the bespoke bronze doors and architectural panels used in the elegant dining room. Whether open or closed, the architectural pattern retains its intended proportions. Despite their weight exceeding one tonne, their operation is precise and effortless. SILK WALL COVERING Striking emerald green hand-dyed silk covers the walls of the dining room, taking an artist 18 weeks to paint the motif. The gold leaf ribbon used in the design could only be hand painted once the silk was applied to the wall, the artist requesting classical music to be played for inspiration. The bespoke brass chandelier that hangs in the room was designed to sit in perfect harmony with the tree branches featured in the scenery.

8 THE BEDROOMS INDIVIDUAL AND CALMING No two bedrooms were designed and created to look the same. All however will offer you a 6 star experience of luxury, relaxation and touch. Choosing your favourite might prove challenging.

9 THE OLD AND NEW The perfect living environment cannot be achieved by simply replicating a page from a magazine. A careful selection of antique and unique pieces were sourced to complement the new designs crafted. The beauty lies in the successful orchestration of all the different pieces. O U T O F S I G H T Design is as much about beauty as it is function. The space has been designed to please your senses and be efficient in use. Every centimetre has been utilised to best meet your needs, from hidden storage cupboards where you would think a solid wall lies to twin drawers of different depth within your dressing room. All has been thought of, from where you would want to place your accessories, your belts, your handbags or even your watch winders.
