Set in South Leicestershire, Kilworth House is a grade II listed Italianate country house, designed by A E Purdie as a family home in 1888 for John Entwisle, the High Sheriff of Leicestershire.
In 1999 a major restoration project commenced with Kilworth House Hotel taking over 4 years to return to its original beauty.
This involved working with English Heritage to preserve the grade II star listing of the Victorian Orangery.
Philip Payne devised a range of new finishes and mounting styles for use throughout the project including the Classic Cylinder 300CCH with swan neck arms. The bespoke swan neck mounting used here shows how emergency lighting for hotels can be finished discreetly to suit a listed interior. The discreet detailing reflects the considerations often involved in listed building emergency lighting schemes.
