Sourced from her former Gloucestershire home, Kempsford Manor, the pieces reflect a life shaped by travel, creativity and a fearless approach to mixing styles. Antiques, modern design and richly decorative objects sit side by side, united by an instinctive eye and a belief that interiors should evolve, surprise and delight.
Jade Jagger
Jagger’s influences span continents, from London to Goa and Ibiza, and this global outlook runs throughout the collection. Radiant textiles from Central and South Asia, sculptural pieces of furniture, playful accents and timeworn antiques converge, blending history with an acute sense of fun.

A studded leather chest, vibrant suzanis and an exuberant ikat-patterned carpet coexist effortlessly with contemporary seating, lighting and decorative objects, creating rooms that feel both considered and joyfully lived in, while also demonstrating Jade’s finger firmly on the pulse of interior design.

At the heart of the collection is Jagger’s philosophy of continual reinvention – keeping what sparks joy, rearranging and refreshing as life moves on. This spirit of renewal offers Sworders’ buyers a rare opportunity to acquire pieces infused with unmistakable rock ’n’ roll attitude. Full of colour, texture and personality, the lots carry a knowing wink to their former home and the life lived among them.
Jade Jagger
In today’s design landscape, where bold colour, global influence, and the interplay of pattern with modern form dominate, this group of lots reads as a curated world in miniature: playful yet refined, historic yet forward-looking. It reflects Jade’s own nomadic creativity and her instinct for crafting spaces that feel both deeply personal and vibrantly international.
