Happy Spring!
March 14, 2010
As I sit here, typing from our retail outlet near Church Stretton in Shropshire it definitely looks like Spring has finally sprung!
Blue skies over the Caer Caradoc and Lawley Hills, Spring lambs dotting the landscape like white full stops, and an abundance of snowdrops. Lovely!
We have been busy here at Wilstone – having aleady done the first show of 2010 – the Spring Fair at the NEC., in Birmingham. We took a huge range of our iron kadai firebowls with us, and they went down a storm! Our firebowls are the outdoor trend for this year, so if you’d like one, order it now before they run out, which they will! Telephone us on 01694 771800.
The shop is now packed to the rafters with new stock, from opium sofa benches to the most wonderful ornately carved mirrors, delicious fabrics, beautiful antique furniture and so much more!
So, if you are travelling along the A49 in Shropshire, look out for Wilstone House and Gardens!
Stone Jali Panels from Wilstone House and Gardens

Detail of the Jali panel above, from Wilstone House and Gardens
These enchanting pierced stone windows have been used by Eastern countries for generations as decorative screens designed to let the natural light and cooling breeeze through – but not the harsh rays of the sunshine.
Red Sandstone Jali - one of many from the range at Wilstone House and Gardens
The more decorative Mogul pieces are now becoming very collectable. Place a mirror behind a jali panel, or fit into a wall with a light behind it. Their elegance and fine carving provide an interesting feature to any dull wall, inside or out.
