Renowned interior designer Syrie Maugham is celebrated as a visionary who transformed the landscape of 20th century interiors. At the height of her fame and success, for ten giddy years from the late 1920s, Syrie Maugham was widely held to be one of the foremost interior decorators of the day. Vogue magazine featured her frequently, recognising her not just as one of the first English women to establish herself in this newly emerging profession, but also as a leading figure in fashionable society and an arbiter of taste and chic.
