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.

Oval Porcelain Cabinet depicts one of Rundāle Palace’s most enchanting rooms—a jewel-like chamber created in 1768 to display an extraordinary collection of Chinese and Japanese porcelain. Adorned with gilded carving, mirrored panels, and delicate ornament, the cabinet reflects the 18th-century European fascination with the Far East. Bertram’s watercolor captures the intimacy and brilliance of the space, distilling its luminous surfaces and sculptural symmetry into an elegant, atmospheric study.
