Great British craftsmanship you need to possess

It is, for Horsley, all about personality-driven design, which takes the concept of wearing your heart on your sleeve to a whole new level. Appointments take place in central London or, if you’re feeling particularly decadent, you can be measured for your new threads at Stoke Park before a round of golf. £Various; crowandjester.co.uk

Howe’s Salon chair allows you to sit on a piece of British heritage, quite literally. Each piece is tailor-made to your specifications, from the wooden frame to the finishing touches. Patriotic posteriors should perch upon the deconstructed version of the chair, which has an open back to reveal the craftsmanship and can be upholstered in your choice of flag. You’ll be in good company: Lucian Freud purchased one in 1994 and included it in several of his paintings – including After Cézanne, 1999-­2000 – confirming the chair’s status as a British design icon. £2,830, howelondon.com

At this year’s Geneva Motor Show, Bentley released the brand new Mulsanne – its range-topping model. The previous iteration was already the height of refinement, so there’s no change there. Indeed, the astonishing 6.75-litre V8 remains untouched, too. But it’s the design which has enjoyed the upgrades: including a wider more prominent front grille, LED headlights and one-piece bumper, radiator shell and bonnet. 

For those with long legs (and big egos), opt for the Extended Wheelbase edition for 250mm extra legroom in the rear. Or, if your prefer being behind the wheel, the Speed will offer you the most bang for your considerable buck. From £230,515, bentleymotors.com
