Syrie Maugham (1879 - 1955) — Auction price
Gwendoline Maud Syrie Maugham was a leading British interior decorator of the 1920s and 1930s who popularized rooms decorated entirely in white.
Although she made her fortune and fame with her white decors, by the mid-1930s she had largely given up the white decors to create interiors with baroque accessories and colour schemes punctuated by bright green, shocking pink, and bold reds.
Maugham's glamorous rooms influenced almost every designer.
