EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the grandeur of the hall and staircase at Ardenrun, Surrey. Taken from Giles Worsley's renowned book "England's Lost Houses" this print showcases the remarkable architectural beauty that once existed in this now lost treasure. The image reveals a stunning balustrade, intricately carved with handcrafted panels, which adds an exquisite touch to the elegant interior. The wood paneling exudes a sense of warmth and sophistication, reflecting the craftsmanship of its time. Ardenrun was built between 1906-09 by Ernest Newton for Captain Woolf Barnato, a celebrated racing motorist. Unfortunately, tragedy struck when it was ravaged by fire in 1933, forever erasing its splendor from existence. Through this photograph, we are transported back to a bygone era where country houses like Ardenrun stood as symbols of wealth and opulence. It serves as a poignant reminder of our architectural heritage and the impermanence of even the most magnificent structures. English photographer Bridgeman Images skillfully captured this moment in time with their lens, preserving both the beauty and melancholy associated with England's lost houses. This print is not only an artistic masterpiece but also an important historical document that allows us to appreciate what has been lost while celebrating our rich cultural past.
