AN INTERIOR LIFE | William Johnston and his Collection
17 Feb 2020 - 22 Sep 2020
AN INTERIOR LIFE presents a new arrangement of William Johnston’s collection in Fairhall, the exhibition-house. Inspired by Johnston’s friend, and later Trustee of the Collection, John Rogan suggested that “The objective in the presentation of Fairhall will be to maintain the atmosphere created by William Johnston and to build on this atmosphere.” Fairhall is recreated with a relaxed “English Country House style” treatment inspired by the looks of the great English designers Sybil Fowler and John Colefax, of Colefax and Fowler, London.
Over his lifetime Johnston assembled the most astonishing collection now comprising more than 1,400 objects of mostly 18th century English furniture, paintings, ceramics and objet d’art, now regarded as one of the best collections of its kind in Australasia.
Enjoy a visually enticing display of over 400 years of art history, and share in William Johnston’s lifetime passion for collecting beautiful things. Rare items will adorn each room of Fairhall exhibition-house as you immerse yourself in otherworldly treasures and luscious interiors, filled with stories of travel and tales of the past. Experience objects gathered by William Johnston unfettered by ropes or barriers.
AN INTERIOR LIFE offers a traditional interpretation of the Collection.
This exhibition is supported by The Friends of The Johnston Collection.

От такой красоты перехватывает дух. Нет слов выразить словами эту красоту.

[@christaherold9825]

Sooo schön. Ich liebe Antiquitäten und besonders chinesisches Porzellan und vor allem die weisse Cattleya, die ist wunderschön. Alles ist so gepflegt und stilvoll eingerichtet - einfach traumhaft.

[@gloriahanes5338]

Exquisite taste with a flair towards the Asian design which was quite popular in England in the 1800's especially Asian ceramics and furnishings.

Hi Sonia, the Collection is cared for by our wonderful volunteers and staff who ensure the display is dust-free at all times. Thanks for watching!

Just lovely and beautifully put together. Would like to know the name and supplier of patterned mellow yellow wallpaper hung un the yellow room :-)

[@marcellacoblentz8433]

Love the Blue Room paint color. Any idea what it is? Love your home.

[@matta8931]

Very beautiful, it was a little frilly, and I did not care for the red enterance. I'm am just glad to not see ruffles and ruffled covered tables, or over done pink. It is really beautiful.

You mentioned Australasia did you mean Australia? This was mentioned in the caption above in the second paragraph.

[@TheJohnstonCollectionChannel]

Hi Gloria, in this case Australasia is correct. Thanks for watching!

[@tnmtemerity]

[@pretzeltime3900]

Could someone please tell me the name of the name in the portrait at 4:45?

[@TheJohnstonCollectionChannel]

Hi there! This is a portrait of portrait of Lord Chancellor William Cowper, painted in England in 1706 by artist Jonathan Richardson (English, b.1665, d.1745). You can find more information about the painting on our website: explore.johnstoncollection.org/objects/5119

Everything looks so delicate in this house ... I am wondering if a group of neurosergeons do the dusting ...

Lovely things. but the dusting!

[@heraldeventsandfilms5970]

Says a crashing bore.

[@twistoffate4791]

I always wonder who does all the dusting in such places. Even for the soul who is paid, it is tedious labor.

[@heraldeventsandfilms5970]

@@twistoffate4791 Another bore. So many bores.

[@ladykemma3]

@@twistoffate4791 damp dust once a quarter, feather dust rest of time . Can't use a feather duster on filth, only on something already clean. Lavender or rose geranium drops in a jug of water. Sprinkle water on clean soft rag, detail dust each piece and the table su rface.might need a clean toothbrush or never used paint brush Make sure nothing gets overly wet.

love it but too full for my taste. I really prefer homes which are much more sparse.

[@SuzanneBaruch]

Very well designed, but I'm disappointed by the kitchen. It almost felt like it was decorated with the "leftovers" that no one wanted anywhere else.

[@cjbanksful]

I sm very disappointmented thst do many video plsy music instead of telling us whst we are looking at. What period, what china etc. Be informative.

Very beautiful, yes. But it is too Rococo for me. It starts to become claustrophobic. He must have come from money. No career could afford him this degree of luxury.

[@asa1973100]

MAGNIFICENT

[@elizabethhemmett9870]

Not a place to relax and feel comfortable, too staged and impersonal, scared to move and touch anything!?!

[@TheJohnstonCollectionChannel]

Hi Elizabeth, thanks for your feedback. The Johnston Collection is not a lived in house, but there is always plenty of space for visitors to move around on guided tours. As our Collection is very old and delicate, and we want to preserve it for generations to come, standard museum practice of no touching is enforced. Do let us know if you have any more questions, and thanks for watching!

[@BrianFrenchinternet-marketing]

meh...

[@user-hs2bk8gf8i]

Quite boring

[@Talentedtadpole]

Nobody cooks in that kitchen.They make a cup of tea & chuck a waitrose microwave meal in a concealed microwave maybe. Nightmare. Lovely house, some nice pieces but a lot of ugly lumpen stuff, & the most boring, obvious application of all of the tired old rules of decorating. Sadly, rather a dull interior.

[@karenstieglitz3443]

You are clearly jealous. There's enough Beauty for all of us, so no need to be.

[@Talentedtadpole]

​@@karenstieglitz3443that's the only explanation you can come up with?! Not everyone has the same taste (thank god). And those not getting ßome share of a decent life or what they value or consider beautiful? I suppose you're one of those denialist magical thinkers who think the homeless deserve it etc... Sod you and your prissy, mean spirited comment.
