Evening visit to an 1890's period house in Clapham, London

Tuesday 9 March, 2010
6:30-8:30pm

Cost UKP15 (minimum 8, maximum 18 visitors)

Although tens of thousands of middle class terraced houses were
built in London at the end of the 19th century, very few have
retained their character and fittings through changes in fashion and
the ravages of time. This is a rare opportunity to see the colourful
and atmospheric interiors of such an 1890's house in Clapham, along
with the collection of antique, arts and crafts and contemporary
furnishing which the owners have built up over twenty years.
Christopher Claxton Stevens will give an introductory talk and
there will be a tour, ending with wine and nibbles.

Christopher Claxton Stevens was a director of Normans Adams Ltd.
(antique dealers), has served on the Council of the Furniture
History Society and is a past Chairman of the Regional Furniture
Society.  He is an advisor to the Furniture Conservation Course at
West Dean College and is a lecturer and author of many books and
articles.  He is a trustee of the Geffrye Museum and the Art
Workers' Guild.
