So much to love 🌳💜🖼️⛲️
The entrance busts in the garden wall always draw my eye into one of the best preserved 17th-century country houses in England. My favorite room is the Green Closet 💚 with its silk walls, miniature portraits, painted ceiling and inlaid Japanese export lacquer cabinets on gilded stands. I love how this jewel of an intimate space sits just beyond the Long Gallery with its grand portraits — originally a place for exercise and art-viewing in bad weather, but also a powerful display of political alliance.
