Ronald Fleming (1896 - 1968) was an English interior decorator. BiographyRonald Fleming was born in Scotland, the son of a doctor from Kelso.[1] He attended Epsom College and then, in the 1920s, studied interior design at the New York School in Paris.[1] Between his study in England and France, he served during World War I with the Cold Stream Guards.[3] In 1931 he worked in Paris with Keeble Ltd (Keeble Ltd had its office in London at Carlisle House).[2] He worked also for Kelso Ltd and Arundell Clarke. In 1932 he opened, and managed, the decoration department at Fortnum & Mason. In 1949 he became the director of Mann and Fleming Ltd.[1] In 1931 he published Talk on Decoration.[3] In 1932 he organized the exhibition "Modern Designs for Mural Decoration" at Carlisle House, opened by Osbert Sitwell and including works, among others, by Roger Fry, Duncan Grant and Edward Halliday.[3] He also gave lectures on ethos and technique.[3] Fleming was friends with Roy De Maistre and in 1953 he bought Flower Piece, which passed to Adrian Brookholding-Jones, grand-son of the sculptor Adrian Jones, and then sold at Brookholding-Jones' death.[4] His commissions included: the ballroom in the Royal Palace in Athens for King George II of Greece; the Penthouse Suite at the Dorchester Hotel, together with Oliver Messel; the interiors of Dalmeny House for Harry Primrose, 6th Earl of Rosebery; stage sets and murals.[1] In magazines of the time, he was often introduced as a bachelor interior designer, a subtle way to say that he was gay. The same applied to Oliver Frederick Ford, Carl Toms and Alan Tagg.[5] Fleming lived all his adult life, until death, with Geoffrey Houghton-Brown (1903-1993), an authority on 18th-century French furniture.[6] LegacyThe Ronald Fleming, interior decorator, papers, 1915 - 1976 are hold by the Archive of Art & Design of the Victoria & Albert Museum.[7] References1. ^1 2 3 {{cite book|last1=Lomas|first1=Elizabeth|title=Guide to the Archive of Art and Design, Victoria & Albert Museum|date=2001|publisher=Taylor & Francis|page=93|url=https://books.google.it/books?id=c3M3kdI5Xr4C&pg=PA93|accessdate=10 January 2018}} {{Authority control}}{{DEFAULTSORT:Fleming, Ronald}}2. ^{{cite web|title=Carlisle House, Carlisle Street, Soho, London / by Keeble Limited.|url=http://digital.slv.vic.gov.au/view/action/singleViewer.do?dvs=1515620724054~270&locale=it_IT&metadata_object_ratio=10&show_metadata=true&VIEWER_URL=/view/action/singleViewer.do?&preferred_usage_type=VIEW_MAIN&DELIVERY_RULE_ID=10&frameId=1&usePid1=true&usePid2=true|website=State Library of Victoria|accessdate=10 January 2018}} 3. ^{{cite book|last1=Compton|first1=Ann|title=Edward Halliday: Art for Life, 1925-1939|publisher=Liverpool University Press|page=34|url=https://books.google.it/books?id=no5eCPjZapgC&pg=PA34|accessdate=10 January 2018}} 4. ^{{cite book|last1=Johnson|first1=Heather|title=Roy De Maistre: The English Years 1930-1968|date=1995|publisher=Craftsman House, B V I|page=52|url=https://books.google.it/books?id=iaFPAAAAMAAJ|accessdate=10 January 2018}} 5. ^1 2 3 {{cite book|last1=Cook|first1=M.|title=Queer Domesticities: Homosexuality and Home Life in Twentieth-Century London|date=2014|publisher=Springer|page=46|url=https://books.google.it/books?id=HIOEAwAAQBAJ&pg=PT46|accessdate=10 January 2018}} 6. ^{{cite book|last1=Lees-Milne|first1=James|last2=Bloch|first2=Michael|title=Diaries, 1984-1997|date=2011|publisher=Hachette UK|page=195|url=https://books.google.it/books?id=PyqpKFINPUIC&pg=PT195|accessdate=10 January 2018}} 7. ^{{cite web|title=Archives held by the Archive of Art & Design|url=http://www.vam.ac.uk/content/articles/a/archives-held-by-the-archive-of-art-and-design/|website=vam|accessdate=10 January 2018}} 2 : 1896 births|1968 deaths |
