18 Stafford Terrace
London, England W8 7BH
Sambourne House is the former home of Victorian illustrator and photographer Edward Linley Sambourne (1844 – 1910), his wife Marion, their two children and their live-in servants. The house gives an insight into their personal lives and provides a rare example of what was known as an 'Aesthetic interior' or 'House Beautiful'. The Sambournes lived in the house for over 36 years and the basic decorative scheme remains the same today. Highlights include Middle-Eastern and Chinese ceramics, William Morris wallpapers and a wide selection of Sambourne’s own work.
