HISTORIC DECORATION

Historic Decoration was founded in 2016 by interior designer and consultant Caroline Percy and architectural historian Oliver Gerrish. Our series of study days at Syon House, Salons at Brunswick House, four day course and tours aim to explain and define the many and varied aspects of the history of British interior design and to explore the options available to assist in the restoration and reinterpretation of historic interiors today.

NORFOLK COUNTRY HOUSES AND THEIR TREASURES

20th - 27th September 2023

Join Oliver Gerrish and Caroline Percy for a very special private tour of Norfolk, where they will be visiting some of the most beautiful historic houses in the county, as well as meeting special guests from the worlds of the English country house and interior design. Caroline and Oliver will also explore the different eras of design we will be seeing on this tour, as well as the signature furniture styles.

We will dine in most of the houses we visit, all of which are still privately owned. Some of the places we are going to have never had groups, so these visits are one-offs. The tour will be based in a country house hotel close to the sea at Holt. Numbers are strictly limited to twelve.

Please email info@historicdecoration.com for full details and to book.
