Reviews

“And a sumptuous new book commemorating the place and its history will be published by Flammarion in November….Indeed, like many grand English houses, the story of Castle Howard has been one of intergenerational collaboration. In addition to the Howards themselves, there were the architects, designers, stonemasons, gilders, upholsterers, painters, and carpenters who have built, researched, and restored the different facets of this unique stately home for centuries. Today, the core team comprises Nicholas and Victoria; Renzullo; the venerable interior designer Alec Cobbe, who has special expertise in picture hanging (having advised the Royal Collection); and architect Francis Terry (a well-known proponent of a style often called New Classicism). Working together on one of the centerpieces of the house, the Tapestry Drawing Room, Renzullo, Cobbe, and Terry began with a fact-finding mission through the house itself—and through the archives.” — Architectural Digest
