We just bought a house in #Sydenham#SE26, and, most wonderfully, found this written beneath the wallpaper in the bedroom.

💬 "What’s the most delicate or obscure piece held by the collection?" ❓
People are usually surprised that the collection includes bins! There are 44 of these wastebaskets made by cabinetmaker Andrew A. Pegram in 1950 for the @HouseofCommons, and they are still in use today.
Some of the most delicate objects in the collection are clocks, with their intricate metalwork and complex mechanisms. ⚙️
Parliament has two specialist horologists (clock makers) who ensure they stay in working order. 🕰️
In an exciting change from engines, I had a grand old time writing about why antiques are our strongest weapon in the fight against ordinary interiors.
Step away from the crushed velvet headboard, embrace the mahogany quill box. #openartfair https://t.co/QJvBy9bNOu
