The House — Notes & Provenance
A small house,
kept rather
than run.
We have practised, in two cities, for the better part of seven years. What follows is what we believe in, and how the rooms are run.
Plate I · The Reading Room
Plate II · Brass
"Less a place to go to, more a room to be returned to."

How the rooms
are kept.
Provenance
From the
small batch.
Every oil, soap and linen in the house is sourced under a single rule — that we know, by name, who pressed, wove or fired it. No corporate inventory. No house brand on the bottle.
