Photography by Simon Upton
London antiques dealer Will Fisher and his wife, Charlotte Freemantle, run Jamb, which has an international reputation for sourcing and reproducing rare fireplace mantels, 18th-century statuary, and country house furniture. The couple live in a four-story Georgian terrace in Camberwell, south London, which formerly was “the ugly duckling” of the street. Not so anymore.

The reclaimed wall tiles in the kitchen are from the Manhattan subway.
Behind the sofa (an antique they are reproducing for their own range of settees), Fisher installed a vast cabinet that he describes as “the holy grail of country house surfaces."

A statue of Britannica from 1786 rests beside the fire. “Again, it’s one of those things that brings us both enormous joy,” says Fisher.
A scene from the hallway includes an upturned capital and 18th-century vase and a collection of busts.

The Blue Gray main bedroom features an antique gilt lacquer brass bed (“as rare as hen’s teeth,” says Fisher).
