50 QUEEN ANNE STREET

50 Queen Anne Street is a Grade II listed Georgian townhouse, one of the 1760s Portland Estate houses that gave Marylebone its proportions and its manners. Decades of unsympathetic alteration were stripped back in the refurbishment, and the main stair, fireplaces, cornices and joinery all stayed where they were.

Turner lived a few doors along at number 47, from 1809 until the end of his life. Behind the house he built himself a gallery lit from above, where his paintings hung against walls of Pompeian red and visitors were admitted strictly on his terms.

Two centuries on, original artwork was commissioned for every room in this house. Studio Thirty Three furnished the whole townhouse, floor by floor: a bespoke marble meeting table, bespoke armchairs drawn from the S33 Collection, and a burr wood console in the entrance hall, its figure as worth looking at as anything hanging above it.

Turner put his colour on the walls. This house puts it on the floor, in pink and cream marble that carries you from the door to the stair.
