Thomas Hope: Regency Designer
Event location: Victoria and Albert Museum. Ongoing event.
 Thomas Hope’s important role as an arbiter of design taste in the early 19th century will be explored in this display. Regency furniture designer and collector of art and antiquities, Hope pioneered the Neo-Classical Style in England. His Household Furniture and Decoration (1807) was the style Bible par excellence.
The scope of Hope’s influence is shown through sculpture, painting, furniture, interior design, costume, metalwork and silver. The display will include recreations of the interiors from his Duchess Street townhouse - a temple of taste during the Regency period - and will examine Deepdene, his country house and estate in Surrey.
