A COLLECTOR’S GUEST BARN

Collections in the barn have a British focus, with both Aesthetic and Arts & Crafts designs: an ebonized wall shelf set with exotic. blue-and-white Minton ceramics by Christopher Dresser; an étagère crowded with gilded Royal Worcester pilgrim flasks and vases. • The front of the main room is furnished with a parlor set from Ann Pyne’s grandmother. Along with Aesthetic Movement tiles and ceramics, it makes an eye-catching contrast to the rustic setting. At the other end, rare romantic tiles by Henry Stacy Marks glow on the wall above a painted pine bed. The ca. 1873 tiles depict the seven “Ages of Man.” • An arresting tableau features an Aesthetic Movement stained-glass panel depicting “The Mikado” hung above a Reformed Gothic oak table holding rare, John Bennett ceramics, ca. 1880.

The 1850s barn, now holding guest rooms, is at the rear of the property.
