Nancy Lancaster was very good at this sort of thing, even before she joined Colefax and Fowler.
The most humiliating thing that's ever happened to me was when I was doing up Kelmarsh. I went to Christie's, where, hanging in the sale room, was a picture that I recognised. I burst out, 'I do want that picture; it's exactly the colour I want. It matches my curtains.'
It was a Van Dyck and went to a museum.
