Description: | Local significance and national interest
The collection includes an assemblage of 19th century Aubusson carpets, one at least ordered specifically for the space it currently occupies, two sets of 17th century tapestries, four Mortlake pieces of the story of Diogenes inset into later panelling, and from the Soho manufactory of Vanderbank, a pair of chinoiserie pieces set into the spaces in the panelling of the Chapel Drawing room for which they were ordered in 1691.
A reredos panel of 18th century silk velvet embellished with 17th century needlework of silver thread re-applied from an earlier panel survives in the Chapel. | Subjects: | Needlework Carpets Textiles Tapestry | Source: | Cornucopia - Discovering UK Collections | FAX: | 01476 579071 | Telephone: | 01476 66116 | Identifier: | oai:www.cornucopia.org.uk:4222 | Go to resource |
