As staircase renovation specialists, we regularly encounter grand staircases that stand as timeless testaments to craftsmanship, elegance, and architectural beauty. One such remarkable example was discovered during a recent visit to The Ivy in Liverpool.
Nestled within a historic building rich in heritage, this staircase immediately captured our attention with its continuous hardwood handrail and bespoke metalwork, masterfully integrated into a graceful stone structure. The design speaks to a level of artistry that is both enduring and inspiring—an exquisite blend of form and function.
The building itself has a prestigious past, originally constructed between 1845 and 1848 in the Neoclassical style by renowned architect Charles Robert Cockerell. It was initially commissioned as a branch of the Bank of England, reflecting the grandeur and architectural precision typical of that era.
In November 2024, the space began a new chapter when The Ivy opened its elegant brasserie within the building. While the interiors have been tastefully modernised to reflect The Ivy’s signature style, the preservation of historic elements—particularly the staircase—honours the legacy of this iconic structure.
For those who appreciate fine craftsmanship and the seamless blend of old and new, this staircase is a shining example of how heritage features can continue to inspire in contemporary settings.
