Primavera Gallery

Henry Rothschild founded Primavera in 1945 in Sloane Street, London, in order to promote and retail contemporary British art and craft.

The upstairs gallery space at 11 King's Parade was once home to Charles Lamb, the poet and essayist, along with his sister Mary in 1819.

[5] In 1965, the Viewpoint 1965 exhibition held at the gallery featured Geoffrey Clarke (sculpture and stained glass), Mary Potter (paintings), and Dan Arbeid (ceramics).

Waller returned to Cambridge (where he was previously a student) after spending many years working and travelling in Europe, the Middle East and Africa.

[1] In 1953, Primavera developed an exhibition programme starting with a selection of traditional British baskets held at the Tea Centre.

In 1999, Anglia Ruskin University, Cambridge, recognised Rothschild's contribution to the crafts by awarding an honorary Master of Arts degree.
