"Eaton Square is one of those London addresses that everyone knows; each white stuccoed façade is embedded in history. Politician Neville Chamberlain lived at number 37 in the 1920s and 1930s, before becoming prime minister; James Bond is its most famous fictional denizen, and composer Andrew Lloyd Webber was a more recent celebrity resident. The Georgian doorways on this elegant garden square have welcomed the rich, the famous, and the feared."
"Around them are Chinese porcelains, Murano lighting, sumptuous gold cushions, huge vases of flowers, opulent curtains. It's like we've stepped from James Bond's pavements to the salons of Federico Fellini via the Ming dynasty and midcentury Italy. Nothing about the apartment feels British apart from the cornicing and the Fromental wallpaper. "The space was very 'real estate,'" says Moran. "It was a plain box with very traditional architectural elements,""
A Georgian Eaton Square apartment was renovated into a richly atmospheric interior combining international antiques and bespoke Italian craft. The design foregrounds Chinese porcelains, Murano lighting, aubergine velvet seating, sumptuous gold cushions and opulent curtains against traditional cornicing and Fromental wallpaper. The designers sourced and made many pieces with a handpicked Italian team, blending midcentury Italian references with Ming-dynasty accents and cinematic glamour. The project faced lengthy delays due to pandemic conditions and strict Grosvenor Estate planning rules, resulting in a near-decade-long transformation that melds historic architecture with an unapologetically non-British decorative language.
