My collector’s covetousness kicked in when I saw this post. Even the items Mr. Lucas is sending to auction are fabulous. Thank you so much for sharing. I would certainly join Wendy on any house tour (I have to say, I adore Denis Severs’ house, too)!

Sigh….. I think the collection is beautifully arranged and quite thrilling to look at. I wish that I could see it in person.

I admire Mr Lucas for having followed his heart’s desire all his life and now the proud owner of a wonderful house filled with beautiful objects.
I had a look at the auction site and mentally compiled my Christmas list comprising of all those fabulous wooden boxes. Perhaps the most interesting lot was 153 “An English bronze Mortar attributable to the Whitechapel Foundry”. My wish is for that to make it back to sit in pride of place at the saved Whitechapel Bell Foundry!

GA, good for Phillip Lucas following his collecting star through the years. I think that his home is charming with items tastefully arranged. Gorgeous photos of the interior by Charles Hopkinson too, with great lighting.

I much prefer it to the Dennis Severs House (with apologies to the latter’s acolytes) which I found dark, disorienting, and overwhelming.

To have followed his heart from such a young age and to live in a wonderful house. A life well lived.

I would love to visit Mr Lucas for a house talk and tour.  I would stay for hours, if not days.
