Our Conservators are currently working to conserve a unique item from our collection, The Queen Anne Throne Canopy. In this short video, the team washes the delicate fabrics, trying to strike a balance between cleaning and caring. We'll be following this conservation project throughout the year. Acquired with the assistance of the Art Fund. Conserved with assistance from Lord Barnby’s Foundation, Idlewild Trust, The Radcliffe Trust, The Leche trust, Broadley Charitable Trust and the Worshipful Company of Tin Plate Workers alias Wire Workers. We are grateful for their support.
