Mark Birley was known for his string of nightclubs which included Mark’s Club, George’s Bar, Harry’s Bar, The Bath & Racquets Club and most famously Annabel’s, named after his wife at the time, who later became known as Lady Annabel Goldsmith.

The name ‘Mark Birley’ still very much lives on today. His son Robin has opened 5 Hertford Street, which has already cemented itself as Mayfair’s number one club. Robin it seems has inherited his father's forensic eye for detail and relentless aim for total perfection.

Mark Birley had very particular ideas on how things should be done, he famously invented the muslin over the lemon, which is not only used all around London today, but all around the world. His eye for detail was not only evident throughout his clubs but also in the manner that he furnished his London home, Thurloe Lodge. It was here where Birley did a large amount of his entertaining and as his friend, Nina Campbell recalls, “being asked to Thurloe Lodge for Kitchen supper on Sunday night, summer lunch on the covered verandah, or a dinner party in the dining room was an invitation not to be refused. The food was never fussy, just perfectly delicious, the wines very spoiling, but the table was always laid in the most quietly luxurious way. Huge, starched damask napkins, oversized ivory pepper mills, apple green opaline finger bowls to name but a few”.

Now some years after he left this life, the contents of his private home are up for auction with Sotheby’s. His private collection includes works by Rossetti, Landseer and Munnings. Objects include Hermes backgammon boards and cigarette cases to monogramed silver and imperial porcelain. Alongside the vast collection of art and furniture, his wine cellar is also being sold, which includes various vintages of Haut Brion, Petrus and Chateaux Cheval Blanc.

Thurloe lodge’s contents is the ultimate testimony to Mark’s incredible taste. The auction which takes place on the 21st March in London will no doubt include friends wanting to have a little piece to remember him by, and those wanting to buy into this true visionary’s style and the man who is universally known as the most tasteful man in Britain.

An incredibly soft throw that is holding up well. Not too heavy, not too thin. Perfect size for the sofa for one person. Make sure to wash in cold and air dry!

You will not regret buying this blanket!
Color: Aqua, Size: Queen/King Size - 80" X 90"
I was actually looking for a cotton blanket to add to my bed for fall and winter. Then I came across THIS one. It happens to be the exact shade of (“seaglass” or teal or aqua or whatever you choose to call it) blue green that I am currently redoing my bedroom in. It was a teense more than I’d planned to spend on this project. But I was in a splurgey mood so I went for it. I can honesty say that I’d happily pay twice as much. It’s much more beautiful and much more insanely soft than it looks in the pictures. While I don’t know how the blanket feels about me, I can assure you that I am madly in love with this gorgeous thing! I can’t wait for it to cool off in Southern California so I can roll myself up in it. Maybe I’ll crank the A/C down to 50 degrees and pretend there are more than two seasons (summer and late summer) in California. Anyway, this would make a great gift. It would make a great gift for yourself. Self care is important! Spoil yourself! You, at the very least, deserve a cozy cuddly blanket. I’m certain that this luxurious blanket will cure insomnia. Maybe even depression. I’ve owned it for like 2 hours and I have a whole new outlook on life! I feel pampered, spoiled, like queen of the world, maybe even like Cleopatra! I think that it should be obvious by now that I’m giving this furry looking blanket two thumbs way way up! Sometimes I order things from Amazon and by the time they arrive Ive already forgotten about them. I was anxiously awaiting my blanket friends arrival and I was prepared to be very meh. Not this time! Nope! Best purchase ever! I know what I’m getting everyone for Christmas! Buy several for future use. This blanket has made me deliriously happy! Update: After owning this blanket for, like, a while, I still love it. Shockingly it washes up beautifully! A word of advice. Fabric softener is a big no no. It gets the fur gummy and feeling like unwashed hair after a month. I imagine. I’ve personally never gone with unwashed hair for more than a day or two. It is at its fluffy and soft best when you use one of those new Downey rinses instead. That seems to remove all residue and it comes out feeling even better than brand new. A word of warning. Do not picnic on this blanket. The fur will encase and preserve your crumbs better than Tupperware. You may find a lost treasure that you don’t actually want in there. Best used for sleeping only.
