The Rex Whistler trophy in the Blue Room at Trent Park. Executed in about 1930.one of these images shows the room before Whistler’s work. When finished, the house had a very different feel to Philip Sassoon’s earlier house, Port Lympne. @cliveaslet described Trent as having “an appreciation of English reserve”. I was lucky enough to be asked to do the analysis of the room, having only known it through old family photographs. #rexwhistler #philipsassoon #houghtonhall #trentpark #cliveaslet #portlympne #winstonchurchill #bevan #trophy #paint #restoration #countrylife #antiquecollector #cholmondeley #1930sdecoration #1930sphotography (at Trent Park)
