Annabel’s Entry Hall – Life size plaster Pegasus by George Jackson, suspended from a Jules Verne-inspired silk hot air balloon in the light well above. Saddle trimmed with Watts hot orange ‘bouffant’ bullion fringe, and Pegasus, not to be out done has the same hot orange tassel detail round his knees and fetlocks. The balloon and basket are equally gorgeously decked out with hot orange, saffron and tasty ivory tassels.

Adare Manor, Zardi & Zardi Tapestries
British interior designer Kim Partridge is more used to creating homes for private clients then refurbishing luxury hotels, but when one of those clients, businessman and race horse owner JP McManus, turned hotelier she was the obvious choice for the makeover.
‘I needed hundreds of fabrics and wallpapers for Adare Manor’s 105 bedrooms and six public rooms’, she says, ‘so it was invaluable to have the Harbour close by- the showrooms cover every tier from wall coverings and upholstery right down to trimmings and they are all in one place’.
In the Gallery, the vast Wall Hangings are the work of Zardi&Zardi. Based on a set of four tapestries depicting the feast of Bacchus, these hangings were digitally printed onto linen. ‘I was in and out of Watts of Westminster all the time, tweaking threads and colours with Fiona’ says Partridge.’That’s the great thing about the Harbour, you can see people with the right expertise very quickly’.

Hillsborough Castle
Historic Royal Palaces
The castle is closed until July 2018 for refurbishment of some of the elegant state rooms. Working closely with Alec Cobbe art historian and designer who specialises in the redecoration and rearrangement of historic interiors, Watts of Westminster has been commissioned to hand make the passementerie for the drapery in the magnificent Throne Room.
