Description: | The collections displayed at Osterley House are dominated by the furnishings created by Robert Adam, from the 1760s to the 1780s. These were given to the nation in 1949 by Lord Jersey and now form part of the Victoria and Albert Museum's collections, deposited on loan to the National Trust which owns the house. Additional material associated with the house and with the Child and Jersey families who lived there has been acquired by the National Trust, including donations of silver, porcelain and furniture from 1778-1949 made by Lord Jersey in the 1990s. Other items, especially paintings, are on loan. An inventory of 1782 provides guidance for future collecting.
