Carrick Hill’s Chinoiserie – The Wonderful Things you Stumble Across in South Australia

I recently had a great day at Carrick Hill (just outside Adelaide) with the great biographer Selina Hastings and the director and urge anyone in South Australia to visit if at all possible – Richard Heathcote, the director there, was a wonderful guide and it’s true (as he notes on his blog) we did become a bit over-absorbed in the great Stanley Spencer’s and Jakob Epstein’s to take in all the Chinoiserie too!!

Here’s Carrick Hill’s website – a gorgeous English style country house and gardens just a short taxi ride from downtown Adelaide

And here’s a blog post from Richard on the Chinoiserie in his collection that Selina and I rather missed due to our fascination and delight in discovering so much 1930s British art hanging on these walls in South Australia!
