Timothy's fascination with antiques began in childhood — rearranging pieces around the family home, to the quiet amusement of those around him. After reading music at university, he trained at Sotheby's Institute of Art before joining the storied rooms of Mallett & Son in Mayfair — and eventually opening his own gallery, where he continues to handle a wealth of historic furniture, objects and paintings spanning the 17th to the mid-20th century — now at his flagship on Ebury Street, Belgravia, London.

One of Timothy's core interests is English furniture design and its relationship to the development of architecture. He is equally devoted to fine Italian and French works of art, particularly those of the Louis XV, Louis XVI, Directoire and Empire periods — and has always believed that the most compelling interiors combine a broad spectrum of styles: Continental pieces add surprise and fantasy when placed among English forms.

That depth of expertise has inspired a loyal and international client base from as far afield as the United States, Australia, Hong Kong and Singapore — all united by a shared appetite for fine and eclectic interiors.
