View of a first-floor executive office of Hardy and Company, furnishers, at the front of 30 Portland Place, Marylebone. The Adam room is furnished with a leather-topped pedestal desk in the middle of the room, seen with a pen set, wire filing tray, scattered papers, with an upholstered chair facing the window, and a side table furnished with telephones. Another, possibly eighteenth-century side table can be seen in the left-hand corner of the room next to the double internal doors, seen covered with a papers, an expanding file, and a portrait of a young woman. An Adam limestone fire place is visible featuring neoclassical panels, flanked by Ionic pilasters in the form of Roman female figurines, with a coal effect electric fire in a polished brass grate, and a kerbed hearth. More photographs, and a Louis XVI-style mantle clock, have been arranged on the mantel shelf. An eight-arm chandelier hangs at the centre of the Adam ceiling, supplemented by matching wall lights on the chimney breast, flanked by a pair of Art Deco flame pendant lights. The house is Grade II*, entry 1227024, and was the former home of art historian and broadcaster, Sir Kenneth Clark (1903 to 1983), and currently remains in commercial use.
