THE COLLECTION OF THE LATE LORD AND LADY JOHN CHOLMONDELEY: A DAVID HICKS INTERIOR LOTS 267- 301Twenty years ago the late, lovely Melissa Wyndham said to me ‘You do know Cristina Cholmondeley lives in a sort of David Hicks museum, don’t you?’ so I went to have a look and sure enough, absolutely nothing had changed since 1965 when my father created this wonderfully stylish duplex apartment overlooking Hyde Park. It was a little faded here and there, but the rooms were exactly as photographed for French style bible L’Oeil 35 years before. Cristina had sold a big Hockney to pay for a new Hicks carpet, the old one having worn out, but kept everything else. I went back there last year and took some final photographs of the place, picturesquely faded, but still ineffably chic after 54 years.Ashley Hicks - 2020
