Still life, new rooms 🌿
..surrounded by beautiful craftsmanship and contemporary colour.
On the lamp... Katie picked this up in a Deal vintage shop, after seeing it in the window and thinking “that looks like John Izod’s work”!
John Izod was Rye royalty.. a real character who was a regular at The George as well as a talented artist, actor and raconteur who painted these Rye boats.
He was a well-loved and active member of the community and so we had to find a home for this lamp at The George.
Shoutout to Davina @mileagevintagedeal whose treasure trove of things included the lamp and the painting shown here.
We hope to welcome you at The George and perhaps in Room 51, one of our newest courtyard rooms.
Fabric and wallpaper is from our fave @williammorriscollection
