“I often prefer frames to actual pictures; they should be treated like an artwork within themselves, whether decorative or simple.” James We work with artisan workshops who have been making frames in the traditional way, with gesso, gilt, and hand-carved elements. #thurstan

A beautiful evening @thezetterhotels Bloomsbury, celebrating the design of the new space. Four years in the making, the project takes subtle cues from its neighbour, @britishmuseum , with thousands of antique pieces sourced globally through auctions, dealers, and extensive travel. The interiors balance a Georgian architectural sensibility with a richly layered mix of global antiques and 20th-century British art.

The studio takes such joy in sourcing special details. The electric blue trim on this headboard is made from a 19th-century linen hand-dyed fragment sourced in France. @thezetterhotels ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #thurstan

Excited, and a little nervous, to see @thezetterhotels open in the heart of Bloomsbury. Originally six Georgian townhouses, the buildings were combined in the mid-20th century to form a hotel overlooking the @britishmuseum on Montague Street. Our aim was to balance the simple elegance of Georgian architecture with the eclectic spirit of its world-renowned neighbour. After years of searching through auction houses across England and Europe, countless fairs, and working with incredible dealers, we have curated close to 2,000 antiques. Pieces span the globe from Oceanic, American, African, Asian, and European origins with a strong 18th-century English collection that grounds the interiors. Alongside these, hundreds of antique textiles have been carefully repurposed into cushions and lampshades, adding layers of history, texture, and character throughout. A huge thank you to all the incredible suppliers and the @thezetterhotels team for their support. And to our own @_thurstan team: this project is a true reflection of your care, creativity, and relentless attention to detail.
