1. Vilhelm Parfumerie Fragrances
“I'm a big fan of Vilhelm Parfumerie,” says Hall. “Their fragrances are interesting and unique and their well-designed packaging is very elegant. Morning Chess is a favorite: It's inspired by the memory of summer holidays.”
Morning Chess Eau de Parfum, £145.00, VILHELM PARFUMERIE, liberty.co.uk.
2. Peter Hone Plaster Casts
“Peter Hone is a master plaster caster. He makes plaster casts of classical plaques, urns, busts and architectural fragments collected over the years. I own an ionic capital and a few other bits and pieces, and I'd like to add to my collection with this charming profile of Apollo,” he says.
Apollo’s Profile, £125.00, PETER HONE, pentreath-hall.com.
3. Fontana Arte Mirror
“We bought this 1960s mirror for our sitting room recently. It came from Paris and is monumental in size. It took about two hours to hang. I love its shape and the combination of blue and peach colored glass with the bronze frame,” Hall explains.
4. Giberto Glassware x Alex Eagle Glasses
“Alex Eagle's shops in London, Oxfordshire and Berlin are total treasure troves. The mix of 20th century furniture, vintage art and design books, clothing and objet is very well curated,” Hall says. “I particularly like these striking hexagonal Murano glasses, made in collaboration with a Venetian glassmaker.”
5. Poplin Pajamas
“I was given these pajamas for Christmas and they're just right for lazy Sunday mornings at home. The red piping contrasts perfectly with the crisp, striped cotton. For that personal touch, you can even have them monogrammed,” he says.
Sebastian Striped Pajamas, £119.00, POPLIN, poplin.co.uk.
6. Asprey Melon Tea Set
“This really is the dream tea set,” Hall says. “The mint green, the pale pink, the fluted shapes—this set is heavenly and constantly at the top of my wish list.”
Melon Tea Set, $3,600, ASPREY, asprey.com.
7. Fornasetti Tray
“I'm an enormous Fornasetti fan. I have one beloved tray—black with a horse and chariot design—but I wouldn't mind another one. His work is wonderful. Full of humor and happiness,” he says.

8. Staffordshire Soldier & Sailor Figure
“I like collecting useless old pottery and ceramics—vases, plates, bowls, cups, saucers—and I love the odd Staffordshire figurine,” Hall says. “This pair of companions, a soldier and sailor, is quite fabulous. I'm trying desperately to track one down.”
9. Gucci Shirt
“I am absolutely obsessed with Alessandro Michele's take on Gucci. I'd wear all of his designs. The colors, the details, everything he does is spot on and very to my taste,” he says. “This pale blue shirt would be perfect for a summer party in the county.”
