Oliver Messel Gallery

The interior of Rosehill was designed by Oliver Messel, a great friend and colleague of Sir Nicholas Sekers, its founder. Rosehill is one of only two public buildings in the UK with interior designs by Oliver Messel, the other being a suite at the Dorchester Hotel in London.

Given the significance of its listed interior, the Victoria and Albert Museum in London has very kindly made a long term loan to Rosehill from their collection of Oliver Messel’s work which is photographed below and hangs in what has now become the Messel Room.
