If you lived at Downton Abbey, you shopped at Selfridges.Harry Gordon Selfridge was a charismatic American who, in twentyfive years working at Marshall Fields in Chicago, rose from lowly stockboy to a partner in the business which his visionary skills had helped to create. At the turn of the twentieth century he brought his own American dream to Londons Oxford Street where, in 1909, with a massive burst of publicity, Harry opened Selfridges, Englands first truly modern builtforpurpose department store. Designed to promote shopping as a sensual and pleasurable experience, six acres of floor space offered what he called everything that enters into the affairs of daily life, as well as thrilling new luxuriesfrom icecream soda to signature perfumes. This magical emporium also featured Otis elevators, a bank, a rooftop garden with an iceskating rink, and a restaurant complete with orchestraall catering to customers from Anna Pavlova to Noel Coward. The store was a theatre, with the curtain going up at nine oclock. Yet the real drama happened off the shop floor, where Mr. Selfridge navigated an extravagant world of mistresses, opulent mansions, racehorses, and an insatiable addiction to gambling. While his gloriously iconic store still stands, the man himself would ultimately come crashing down.The true story that inspired the Masterpiece series on PBS Mr. Selfridge is a coproduction of ITV Studios and MasterpieceEnthralling . . .
