Booking and attending Friends excursions and events
Visit the showroom and home of Meg Andrews, a dealer in rare and antique textiles. Meg's collection includes Charles II embroidery, Morris & Co. textiles and designs by artist John Piper and designer Terence Conran.
Meg's showroom is located in her home, a beautiful Huguenot house in Dalston, east London that she and her husband recently restored. Friends enjoy both a tour of the showroom, examining rare and ancient textiles, and a tour of the house, where Meg will describe the restoration process. Meg will also discuss her career as a dealer and her background, having worked for a prominent auction house prior to setting up her own business.
This event will also be held on 14 February.
