From "World Of Interiors"<br />The first thing you notice as you enter the Clerkenwell home of interior designer Shaun Clarkson and his husband Paul Brewster are six framed Hogarth prints, bought at auction while their house was being renovated. ‘Our original plan was to decorate the place in a much more period style,’ Brewster recalls, ‘so we were vaguely on the lookout for Georgian things. I'd always had a fascination with Hogarth and I found these original prints, all dusty and folded in on each other. It turned out they were from the same year the house was built –1757.’  Now dust-free and gracing the entrance hall of the four-storey shop-fronted house, their square frames are echoed on the facing wall by a grid-like Gilbert and George print – a fitting metaphor for the property’s skilful interweaving of period grace with bold contemporary statement.    Clarkson is an interior designer known primarily for his work in bars, clubs and restaurants. Brewster’s background is in textiles
