Did you know? This large, convex mirror (which hangs in the Parlour), was restored in 2019 by specialist restorer Jane Hall, the Company’s first female Master. Dating from 1880, Jane and her team discovered dirt, damage and decades of haphazard repairs to the mirror alongside former renovations where chemicals were damaging the frame. Through care and using modern and ancient techniques like water gilding, the mirror’s lustre returned, better than ever. Read more from Jane on the portal now
With the end of this Mastership year in sight, Livery members can now book for the annual dinner on 7 July, which celebrates a new group taking the livery. One of our oldest and most popular events, its roots date back to medieval London when the Company was still a collection of tailors. Book now on the membership portal to reserve your spot!
Join us next Wednesday 3 June for our members drinks. There will be crisp, refreshing cocktails (and mocktails) and an evening of soulful jazz. Held in the calm and shady courtyard, a respite from the summer heat. We hope to see you there. Sign up on the portal. Guests are very welcome.
