A glimpse into one of the elegant interiors of Westbury House. 👀
On page 123 of Old Westbury Gardens: Days of Grace on Long Island, photographer Dylan Thomas captures the dressing room, where a pair of sang de boeuf jars sit at either end of the mantelpiece beneath Landscape with Still Life and Parrot by eighteenth-century Romanian painter Tobias Stranover.
Details like these—beautiful, unexpected, and rich with history—are part of what makes this new book such a captivating portrait of Old Westbury Gardens.
Join us October 6 at 6 p.m. for the book launch and a special conversation with Clive Aslet @cliveaslet and Dylan Thomas @dylan_location, moderated by interior designer Thammanoune Kannalikham @kannalikham_designs. Hear the stories and research behind the book, meet the authors, and enjoy an evening of conversation, sparkling wine, light hors d’oeuvres, and a book signing.
Old Westbury Gardens: Days of Grace on Long Island will be published by @triglyphbooks and will be available for purchase at the event.

Before Old Westbury Gardens, there were the Phippses—and a life of travel, art, architecture, and extraordinary experiences.
In 1894, Henry Phipps and his wife Annie traveled to the Alhambra in southern Spain, where they posed in Moorish dress amid the palace’s remarkable interiors.
This photograph appears on page 28 of Old Westbury Gardens: Days of Grace on Long Island, offering just one glimpse into the fascinating history of the Phipps family and the Gardens. 📖
Old Westbury Gardens: Days of Grace on Long Island by Clive Aslet @cliveaslet and Dylan Thomas @dylan_location is published by @triglyphbooks and will be released on October 6. 📚
🚨You can meet the authors at a special book signing event and conversation on the 6th. Get more information and tickets at the link in our bio.
