French Porcelain for English Palaces: Sevres from the Royal Collection

Dates: 23.5.2009 to 11.10.2009. French Porcelain for English Palaces: Svres from the Royal Collection. This exhibition brings together around 300 pieces created by the pre-eminent European porcelain factory of the 18th century. The finely painted and gilded works by Svres were loved by royalty, aristocrats, connoisseurs and collectors. The factory's unrivalled techniques and revolutionary methods of production appealed to their liking for the rare, exotic and extravagant. The Royal Collection contains the world's finest group of Svres, much of it acquired between 1783 and 1830 by George IV, who popularised the taste for French porcelain in Britain.
