The Studio

James Perkins

Founder of A Modern Grand Tour and artist of singular vision. James has spent a lifetime collecting the extraordinary — from rare vintage trunks and plaster antiques to hand-crafted sculptures and one-of-a-kind curiosities.

His studio works are made in limited editions, each one a conversation between the ancient and the contemporary. Every piece is chosen with the same discerning eye that has defined his career as a collector, designer and visionary.

A Modern Grand Tour
"The most extraordinary things in life are not found — they are recognised. And when you recognise them, you must act."

The Feather Lamp
Ostrich Feather Lamp — Coral in situ

Signature Object

The Feather Lamp

Born at Parnham

Handcrafted to order in the studio at Parnham Park. Each lamp is made from ethically sourced feathers, hand-selected and individually applied — a process that takes weeks and produces something entirely unique.

No two are alike. Each one is a conversation between light, material and the hand that made it.
