This magnificent Rococo niche was created by Luke Lightfoot in the 1760s

Aldous Bertram is a Charleston-based interior designer and artist known for his richly layered, historically informed watercolors. Raised in a Queen Anne country house in the village of Linton, Cambridgeshire, and later educated at Cambridge—where he earned a PhD in 18th-century gardens and architecture—he brings a rare depth of architectural literacy to his work. This exclusive collection for Wentworth translates some of Europe’s most remarkable interiors and architectural details into luminous, meticulously detailed studies, capturing the neoclassical whimsy, saturated color, and collected spirit that define his artistic hand.

North Hall at Claydon House depicts one of the most exuberant manifestations of Luke Lightfoot’s 18th-century Rococo carving. The niche—alive with scrolling foliage, feathered ornament, shells, and playful asymmetry—showcases Lightfoot’s unparalleled virtuosity and the theatrical extravagance of the period. Bertram’s watercolor distills this profusion of detail into a composition that feels both intricate and serene, honoring the craftsmanship and fantasy of the original interior.
