A look at the teams caring for two houses which served as launchpads for the soaring ambition of their owners.\n\nSaltram House, in south Devon, was once the country seat of the Parker family. But its 18th-century carpet, designed by architect and interior designer Robert Adam and knotted by Axminster founder Thomas Whitty, is in dire need of restoration, leading to a protective re-weave of the original design by Axminster themselves.\n\nMeanwhile, the house's 18th-century occupant Theresa Parker is also receiving some essential treatment: renowned portraitist Joshua Reynolds captured the spirit of a young Theresa in a once-striking portrait that’s now in need of reviving before it goes on loan for a major exhibition of Reynold’s work. \n\nNestled in the Chilterns, Hughenden Manor is a house that helped propel Benjamin Disraeli to the very peak of power. But in the grounds, the once gloriously golden carriage gates that welcomed his guests are in need of restoration. Blacksmith David takes on the daunting task with the help of blood, sweat and a wedge of gold leaf.
