Introducing The Grand Tour

The Grand Tour

 During the 17th and 18th Century it became popular for young men to undertake a journey of exploration of historical culture and classical antiquity.  The Grand Tour provided a journey of exploration, a true celebration of European society, historical culture and, of course, classical antiquity. Though Paris was often the first destination, it was the ancient Italian cities of Turin, Florence, Padua, Bologna, Venice, Naples and, central to the entire experience, Rome which played host to these Grand Tourists over centuries of summers …

 

Drawing on this heritage some of The Grand Tour Collection from Alchemy Design Award is now available from Soak in Style. 

The Jubilaeum vanity unit adds a touch of traditional glamour to the bathroom. Measuring 1100 x 620mm, it has a black lacquer finish which emphasises its curves, and Swarovski crystal ‘string of pearl’ handles.
