Comments on: Amy Merrick At Dennis Severs’ House https://spitalfieldslife.com/2022/12/31/amy-merrick-at-dennis-severs-house/ In the midst of life I woke to find myself living in an old house beside Brick Lane in the East End of London Tue, 03 Jan 2023 09:11:37 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=7.0 By: Wendy https://spitalfieldslife.com/2022/12/31/amy-merrick-at-dennis-severs-house/#comment-1497183 Tue, 03 Jan 2023 09:11:37 +0000 https://spitalfieldslife.com/?p=194262#comment-1497183 I was lucky enough to nab tickets for the tour (amazing, fantastic, and our tour guide actor was just brilliant). I wanted to stay a few weeks in the house to take in all the decorations – a banquet for the eyes but obviously couldn’t and my memory is poor so these photographs are compensation. Everything about and in the house is magical. Thank you Amy and thank you everyone else involved. Stepping inside was a real ‘pinch me’ experience.

I love the dark richness of these photos — they allow us to peer into each tableau, but ALSO imagine what other delights might be lurking in the shadows. The already-atmospheric house is now dressed-for-success, or (more better!) Opening Night. I adore the theatricality of all the decorations. They enhance the vibe of the house, but do not detract or distract, or pull us into a different era. A masterful outcome! (and lovely photos………)

More is more!

I saw the decorations this year, but was unable to photograph them (no photos allowed in the house), so now I can have them to keep! Well done, Amy, and GA for sharing.

Dennis Severs’ House is a transcendent place in October, which was when I saw it, but at Christmastide it apparently outdoes itself, thanks to Amy. If I am ever in London at this time of year, I’ll be sure to make my reservation in advance!

A real snoozing cat that some visitors seemed to think was an object but rather a pleasant , resident cat.

The decorations are stunning and sensitively done. I’m sure Dennis would have approved immensely. I know I do! Well done, Amy!

Well done Amy, you have captured the real feel of Christmas with your wonderful foliage displays and hand made paper chains . The little empty snail shells are a touch of genius.
Thank you Gentle Author for taking us to such a delightful scene.
