The Arundel table features in the January edition of WORLD OF INTERIORS. In an article written by Ruth Guilding who has recently published a wonderful book on English collecting, called 'Owning the Past', the table was photographed at Albury Park, the Surrey estate of Thomas Howard, 14th Earl of Arundel whose friend John Evelyn, designed its Italianate gardens. The table of course, had always been in Arundel House in the Strand, London, shipped from Rome in 1626 and designed to fit in with the 14th Earl's large collection of Greek and Roman sculpture, and to support a large pietre dure top - now long lost. The supports, as the article explains, ended up at Easton Neston. A full description can be found by going to the link below.

A Qianlong celadon 'dragon' jar from the collection of Alfred Morrison sold for 94,200,000HKD ( around £ 7,500,000)   at Sotheby's Hong Kong on October 8th.

Alfred Morrison, who owned Fonthill, was one of the most important  collectors of the 19th century as well as one of the most influential patrons of the arts. He commissioned Owen Jones to design the furniture and fittings for his London house, of which the largest known piece is in our collection.

We exhibited some special pieces from our collection at Frieze London this October in collaboration with the contemporary gallery, Ancient & Modern.
