EDITORS COMMENTS
In the heart of London's bustling Savile Place, a tiny corner room with just one small window served as the venue for an extraordinary Art Furnishing and House Decorating business. Established by two determined sisters, this unassuming shop defied the limitations of its minuscule size. Miss Kathleen Swinstead-Smith, one of the shop's proud owners, is seen outside the quaint shop front in this 1927 photograph. Her beaming smile and confident demeanor belie the challenges she and her sister faced in running their business from such a limited space. Yet, the sisters' ambitions were far from small. The interiors of their shop were a testament to their artistic flair and innovative approach to home decor. Despite the confined area, they managed to create an inviting and inspiring atmosphere that drew in customers from all corners of the city. The twenties, a decade marked by artistic expression and creativity, provided the perfect backdrop for their venture. Miss Swinstead-Smith's passion for art and decorating shone through in every corner of their shop. The sisters' dedication to their craft and their refusal to let the size of their premises hinder their aspirations made their business a beloved destination for those seeking unique and artistic home decor solutions. This photograph captures a moment in time when two women, driven by their creativity and determination, turned a small corner room into a thriving business that left a lasting impact on London's decorating scene in the 1920s.
