Anglo Hunt Lancaster Loving Nancy Pytchley Ronald Toast
EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative photograph, Nancy Lancaster, née Perkins (1897-1994), is seen gracefully drinking a toast from the loving-cup presented to her husband, Ronald Tree, during the Pytchley Hunt in 1934. At the time, Mrs. Tree was an influential American-born tastemaker, interior decorator, and garden designer, who had married Ronald Tree in 1920 and moved to Britain in 1927. The couple's divorce in 1947 preceded Nancy's marriage to Claude Lancaster in 1948. The image captures the essence of the English Country House Style that Nancy Lancaster came to embody. Dressed in a stylish riding habit, she exudes an air of sophistication and elegance, fitting for high society events such as the Pytchley Hunt. The loving-cup, a traditional hunting symbol of unity and camaraderie, adds to the image's historical significance, further emphasizing the 1930s setting. Nancy Lancaster's impact on British culture extended beyond the realm of interior design and gardening. Her impeccable taste and ability to blend traditional and contemporary elements influenced the way the English Country House Style was perceived and appreciated both in Britain and abroad. This photograph, taken during a significant moment in her life, serves as a testament to her enduring legacy and the lasting allure of the English Country House tradition.
