Sibyl Colefax can correctly be judged as one of the first designers who developed the quintessential English Country House Style. Her spirit and influence live on in the highly successful company she founded almost 90 years ago, originally as Sibyl Colefax Limited, and from 1939 in partnership with John Fowler as Colefax & Fowler Limited.
