Our November issue is here!
With the days getting shorter, the prospect of staying indoors, snuggled up with a good book, is much more enticing. And with dark evenings presenting themselves earlier, you’ll need a good light to read by.
Our special guide to lighting this month includes everything from task lighting to how best to illuminate art and antiques. Meanwhile, Luke Honey reports on his campaign to save London’s heritage gas lamps, and explores the collecting world of antique derringer pistols.
This month’s houses are full of ideas to inspire, from artist David Gentleman’s light-filled townhouse, decorated with 20th-century classics and artworks, to Anna Hope’s colourful terrace in Bristol. Plus we travel to Haarlem in the Netherlands to spend 48 hours in the footsteps of famous resident Frans Hals.
