The Bible of British Taste: An Evening with Ruth Guilding and Ben Pentreath

Join Ruth Guilding, author of The Bible of British Taste and creator of @bibleofbritishtaste, and author and designer Ben Pentreath (@benpentreath) for a discussion that interrogates the contemporary meanings of ‘home’ and our ongoing preoccupation with domestic taste, creativity, self-preservation, and decorating styles.

About the book:

Published on September 25th, Ruth Guilding’s Bible of British Taste takes readers inside Britain’s most fascinating homes – eclectic, charming, and unique. Rejecting the pristine and predictable in favour of the lived-in and characterful, Ruth Guilding celebrates interiors filled with art, antiques, and the layers of history laid down by successive generations of owners. As she describes it, “My mantra for the houses, gardens and people I’ve included in this book seems to be that old stuff is good – and perfection is boring.” Joined by Ben Pentreath, who is himself featured in the book, this evening will shed new light on the quirky charm of British style and British Interiors, with a distinctive mix of house and garden, folk art narratives, domestic icons, and biography.
