The main strengths of the collection are the mid-18th-century mahogany pieces by the likes of Chippendale, Ince and Mayhew, John Linnell, John Gordon and William Vile.
An early oak buffet, superb walnut cabinets and a collection of important English Clocks add to the mix, making this not only a useful survey of English furniture 1600 - 1820, but also a fascinating insight into the mind of a 20th-century collector
