GRAND AMERICAN DECORATING WITH AMELIA HANDEGAN

It is always a pleasure to see where things that you sell end up. In the June issue of Architectural Digest there is a  piece titled AMERICAN REVIVAL. It is about the restoration of a house called Rose Hill in the Rappahannock Valley in Virginia, USA.

With Photographs by Pieter Estersohn.

"In rural Virginia, designer Amelia Handegan brings élan to an artfully refurbished plantation house"

Dating from the 18th century this beautiful house is now fully restored. In a guest bedroom Amelia has used a large early 19th century French gouache which hangs to great effect behind the mahogany four poster bed.

Dating from circa 1820 this was a painting that I loved it has tremendous charm and it is a delight to see it looking so good in it's new home.
