Interior designer John Beresford Fowler CBE (1906–1977) joined the decorating and antiques firm Thornton Smith, where he painted Chinese-style wallpaper (sold as 18th century originals), and learned other paint decoration techniques, such as marbling and graining, and subsequently decorated furniture for Peter Jones. He established his own business on the Kings Road in Chelsea in 1934, and then went into business with Sybil Colefax, founding Colefax & Fowler. Nancy Lancaster employed him to help with the decoration of her own rooms but became fascinated with decoration herself. At the end of World War II she bought the firm that became Colefax and Fowler from the retiring Colefax. He leased the Hunting Lodge at Odiham in Hampshire from the National Trust in 1947, and his simple but elegant decorative scheme made a great impact. Fowler was involved in the redecoration of dozens of substantial country houses and town houses, including Radbourne Hall, Daylesford House, Tyninghame House and Grimsthorpe Castle. He also worked on decorative schemes for Buckingham Palace, Holyroodhouse, Chequers, Chevening, Christ Church, Oxford, and the Bank of England. In the 1960s and '70s Fowler was still engaged in major commercial projects but increasingly preferred to work with the National Trust. By the time of his death in 1977, at the age of 71, John Fowler was recognized as the éminence grise of English decoration.Georgine Fairholme was born in London, 18 August 1927, and attended St Martin’s School of Art in London. She subsequently worked at interior designer Joy King’s Elizabeth Eaton shop in Belgravia before joining the esteemed London firm Colefax & Fowler in 1964, where she became a protégé of decorator John Fowler, founder of the firm. She re-located to New York to work in the firm’s Manhattan office and later joined Rose Cumming, in whose studio she presumably met the designer Harrison Cultra (1941-1983.) Together they formed the Cultra-Fairholme partnership, clients included Richard H. Jenrette and Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis amongst others. Following the dissolution of the partnership, in 1978 she opened her own firm in New York City in a fiercely competitive sector but ran a book with many famous and notable clients including Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis, Mr. and Mrs. Paul Mellon as well as Mr. and Mrs. John Hay “Jock” Whitney. In 1986, Architectural Digest called Fairholme the “doyenne of English Country Style.” In addition to designing interiors, she designed furniture, china, fabrics and wall coverings. On retirement she moved to Italy thence for the last 17 years of her life to Lavenham, Suffolk. She died in Bury St Edmunds 27 August 2019 – soon after her 92nd birthday. Provenance by descent
