Hardback. Condition: New. This is a Pre - Release due out 09-29-2026 (This item will be delivered on or after the release date). Often described as the "English country house whisperer," Alec Cobbe reveals the enduring design principles of venerable old estates that can inspire today's homes.This book is essential reading for ad…mirers of the historic English country house as well as anyone?seeking?to bring authentic British style into?their own?home. From his own distinguished residence, Hatchlands Park in Surrey, to some of Britain's most iconic estates-including Castle Howard, Knole, Goodwood, and Petworth-Cobbe draws on more than fifty years of unparalleled knowledge and expertise in historical detail, conservation, and interior restoration. This book offers rare access?to some of the most important homes in the United Kingdom and Ireland, illuminating the stories of the houses and the lives lived within them.? Cobbe shares never seen photographs alongside his own charming paintings and designs illustrating his schemes, which refresh, enliven, and reignite the hallowed interiors of these country houses. Here readers gain practical guidance on topics such as hanging and enhancing art collections, choosing historically sympathetic paint colors and window treatments, restoring architectural elements, and balancing centuries-old character with the demands of modern living.? More than a showcase of extraordinary rooms, this book serves both as a celebration of Cobbe's remarkable legacy and a blueprint for decorators, restorers, and enthusiasts seeking to preserve heritage while creating livable, beautifully layered homes.

Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. A lavishly-illustrated and meticulously-documented catalogue of the Cobbe Collection, which includes over forty keyboard instruments around half of which were owned and played by composers such as Purcell, Mahler, Chopin and Elgar.The keyboard repertoire comprises one third of the whole of W…estern music. The very instruments chosen by composers themselves form the heart of the Cobbe Collection at Hatchlands. The eighteen owned or played by Purcell, JohannChristian Bach, Mozart, Haydn, Beethoven, Chopin, Mahler and Elgar, to name a few, are the largest group assembled anywhere of these tangible and audible relics connecting with the musical minds of the past. The collection otherwise comprises a further twenty or so instruments that were chosen to represent instrument-makers who were highly regarded or patronised by composers, all maintained in playing order.Each entry in this lavishly-illustrated catalogue includes a history of the piece, its provenance, technical data and colour photographs of the instrument and notable details. Here, for example, is the piano on which Chopin played his final public concert; we learn of the strips of lead that Mahler had fixed to the hammers in the bass register and that Elgar's Broadwood was delivered to Worcester by river.More than simply a catalogue of a collection, this volume will fascinate anyone with an interest in keyboard music, as well as music historians, instrument makers and restorers, and those concerned with issues of 'authentic' performance.ALEC COBBE has collected musical instruments owned bycomposers for many years. He is also a distinguished designer, and specialises in the decor and hanging of pictures in stately homes; in early 2014 an exhibition of his work was shown at the Victoria and Albert Museum.
