Description: | The furniture collection includes an important group of items by James Newton, who supplied much of the furniture for Soho in the late 18th. and early 19th.C. Some of the original Newton items made for Soho have been recovered.The metalwares collection of material from Boulton's manufactory is of outstanding importance.
The Boulton archives surviving in Birmingham public libraries have enabled many of the furnishings at Soho to be re-assembled or replicated from similar examples.
A stunning collection of material (principally metalwares) from Boulton's own manufactory forms a central feature of the displays.
