1. Title: "A Glance into the Elegant Upper Landing of Sir Philip Sassoon's Residence at 25 Park Lane, London (1922)" 2. Description: This evocative photograph captures the refined and sophisticated ambiance of the upper landing in Sir Philip Sassoon's renowned residence at 25 Park Lane, London. Built in the French style, the house was an architectural marvel and a testament to Sir Philip's impeccable taste. The year is 1922, and the image invites us to step into the world of this British politician and patron of the arts. 3. The upper landing is a stunning display of French décor, with its crimson damask-covered sofa and chairs, which add a rich and luxurious touch to the space. The all-black portrait of the late Lady Sassoon, painted by John Singer Sargent, proudly graces the mantelpiece, creating a striking contrast against the red backdrop. 4. Situated almost opposite Dorchester House, 25 Park Lane was later renumbered 45 in 1934. The residence was a hub of social and artistic activity, with notable figures such as Winston Churchill, Bertrand Russell, and Virginia Woolf frequenting Sir Philip's gatherings. 5. This photograph offers a glimpse into the domestic life of a man who played a significant role in shaping the cultural landscape of London during the early 20th century. The French style refurbishment of his home at 25 Park Lane (later 45) was a reflection of his appreciation for European art and culture, which he brought to life through his extensive collections and patronage. 6. The image stands as a reminder of the opulence and elegance that once defined the interiors of Sir Philip Sassoon's London residence, a place where art, politics, and society intertwined in a captivating dance of culture and refinement.
