In Heal’s furniture store in London, tucked away towards the back is a wonderful staircase. It was designed by Cecil Brewer in 1916 and it is as beautiful today as it was then. The staircase spirals from fourth floor to the basement level, with a stunning Bocci chandelier filling the space in the centre with 65 glass pendants.
This is the lovely view from the bottom to the top
The handrail is a rich dark brown, giving a lovely outline to the staircase, and the glass pendants sit at irregularly giving a sense of height
My favourite view is from the top down to the basement. There is a black glass table sitting just under the chandelier which reflects back the lit up pendants giving the view an extra twinkle.
I would definitely recommend a visit if you’re in the area, as access to beautiful structures isn’t always so easy.
Isn’t that beautiful? You took great photos of it.
It was beautifully made and very well kept. I wouldn’t have thought it was 100 years old! Glad you liked the photos 🙂
