Horne & Harvey are fine art enthusiasts and collectors and to help preserve the long art tradition and heritage of St James's have made their shop both an estate agent and a gallery for contemporary art.

The current exhibition focuses entirely on Annie Tempest's Tottering-by-Gently. Annie grew up at the magnificent Broughton Hall, the inspiration for Tottering-by-Gently. She joined Country Life magazine in 1993. Her subtle and humorous depictions of Dicky and Daffy Tottering and their family has expanded into a small empire. As the Duke of Devonshire commented Tottering-by-Gently is the reason why ‘most people read magazines backwards’. In 2009 she won the prestigious Pont Prize for her portrayal of the British Character – the highest accolade in her profession.

“Tottering portrays a cast of characters endearingly absent minded and tipsy, surrounded by labradors, horses, guns, Agas and endless bottles… It is a brilliantly observed, affectionate portrayal of a way of aristocratic rural life, changing irrevocably as it adapts to the modern world.” Charlotte Metcalf, Spears Magazine, September 2012
