Lady Henrietta Spencer-Churchill
Georgian Style and Design
Co-Sponsored by Holland & Company Antiques and Reproductions and The Royal Oak Foundation
ADAC Presentation Room,
1st Floor Atrium for Keynote
High Tea and Booksigning Immediately following the Presentation at
Holland & Company Antiques and Reproductions, Suite 238.
 Henrietta Spencer-Churchill is the eldest daughter of the 11th Duke of Marlborough, whose family home is Blenheim Palace, the magnificent stately home near Oxford, designed by John Vvanbrugh. After studying in Paris and Florence and completing a course at London’s Inchbald School of Design, Lady Henrietta worked for the designer, Diana Hanbury. In 1981, she formed her own company called Woodstock Designs, specializing in the renovation of country houses.
Henrietta Spencer-Churchill is known for incorporating traditional style in contemporary interiors and will discuss the influence of the Georgian era on today’s interiors. Associated in the U.S. with historical sites such as Colonial Williamsburg and Thomas Jefferson’s Monticello, the Georgian style is elegant and harmonious yet also comfortable and inviting. In this lecture, based on her new book, Lady Henrietta will show fabric swatches, color samples and drawings from her own design portfolio to examine how the proportions and architectural elements of the Georgian era can be applied to contemporary informal living spaces. She will also discuss how designers look to historical furnishings for inspiration.
High Tea and a book signing will be held at Holland & Company, Suite 238 immediately following the presentation.
Reservations are required and seating is limited.
