Regal, royal and Queen-like, Deborah Cavendish, nee Mitford, the Duchess of Devonshire, feeds the chickens at Chatsworth House, Derbyshire, 1990s.
This beautiful body of work by Sykes, includes intimate photographs of some of Britain’s best-known Country Houses and their interiors.The result is an exquisite glimpse into a world rarely seen so close up, of the beautiful homes of the sometimes almost mythical, British upper echelons of society, deeply steeped in tradition, class and history. Undeniably beautiful, grand and quintessentially British.
Born in 1948, Christopher Simon Sykes left Eton to attend Ravensbourne College of Art. Since graduating he has worked as a writer and photographer on a number of magazines including House and Garden, World of Interiors and Vogue.
His work includes intimate photographs of Britain’s country houses and their inhabitants and unique coverage of the Rolling Stones’ 1975 American tour.
