As it is just around the corner from my temporary home in London, I have walked by Ross Hamilton’s antique shop many times. With the walls sheathed in a dark forest green fabric and its windows aglow with majestic paintings, furniture and glorious objects I, Jane Hall, was a little intimidated about ringing the bell and gaining entrance. But the sinuous shape of a chair and the gleam of a chandelier beckoned me in, so I took the chance. Mark, the proprietor, couldn’t have been more welcoming and allowed me to take these photos, so I could share his treasures with you.
Proprietor, Ross Hamilton British Antiques
The chandelier, which once graced a medical science institute, retails for 67.000 pounds and the fab chair in the window is late 1700’s, acquired by using a backgammon set as barter. The walls in the basement were recently redone in a beautiful, lavender linen, which shows the warmth of woods of so beautifully that you can’t help but be entranced.
