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 into luminous, meticulously detailed studies—capturing the neoclassical whimsy, saturated color, and collected spirit that define his artistic hand.
Shell Cabinet captures the extraordinary carved grotto at Seitenstetten Abbey, a jewel-box chamber layered in sculpted shells, chalky pastels, and monastic ornament. Bertram’s watercolor celebrates the Georgian-era fascination with natural history and the sublime, translating this rare interior into a luminous, meticulously observed composition.
