Mentmore, or Mentmore Towers, is a Neo-Renaissance house in the village of Mentmore in Buckinghamshire. It takes its name from the village in which it stands, and from its numerous towers and pinnacles. It was built 1852-4 by Sir Joseph Paxton and G.H. Stokes for Baron Mayer de Rothschild.
I was commissioned to produce a set of proposals for an analysis of the painted surfaces. Unfortunately it appears that the future of the house is uncertain.
My company Papers and Paints has subsequently supplied specially matched paint for a number of the interiors.
Mentmore has appeared in a number of films, most recently the facade can be seen in the opening moments of Stanley Kubrick’s Eyes Wide Shut (the interior however was filmed at Elveden).

do you have any additional interior photos of Mentmore Towers?
Any reply would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks Eric, I do. However I try not to show too much of my clients’ houses – particularly the interiors. Did you have a particualr question?
I am extremely fascinated by this house, and its history. From what I understand, the house is not being lived in at this time. I was curious if you had photos of the billiards room, or anything else that could shed light on this historical property.
You wouldn’t happen to still be in touch with the owner would you and if so is it still Mr S.H.?
Yes, if you have any more interior shots or can advise on the extent of the work that would need to be carried out to restore the house. I understand it is in a very bad way these days?
Thanks
