George Oakes was particularly known for his hand-painted silk pillows as his daughter Lucinda recalls, "Mario adored them. Eventually they became a signature of his interiors, propped on a chair or sofa, a signifier of nature and beauty, and an authentic stamp of the English country house style that he so loved."
